AI Thread Summary
To help a 3rd grader understand place value, it is essential to explain how the value of digits changes based on their position. In the numbers 6300 and 530, the digit 3 represents different values: in 6300, it is worth 300, while in 530, it is worth 30. This illustrates that the value of 3 in 6300 is ten times greater than that in 530. Understanding these concepts can significantly aid in grasping basic math principles. Clear explanations and examples are crucial for effective learning.

The value of 3 in 6300 is 10 times the value of 3 in 530.
Thanks

The value of the 3 in 6300 is 300.
The value of the 3 in 530 is 30.
So, the value of the 3 in 6300 is 10 times the value of the 3 in 530.
 
Thank you so much
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
