the original number. The square root of the questions.
number 25 is written as √ 25 = 251/2, where the
1
sign √ and the power ,both mean ‘the
2
square root of’. Thus, the square root of the
number 25, √ 25 = ± 5 , since (+5 ¿ ×(+5) =
25 and (−¿ 5) ×(−5) = 25.

2 Place value Demonstrating Mathematics for Oral

Place value is the value of each digit in a the place value of secondary schools
number. digits in numbers. in Guyana bk 3. Written
Example
The 5 in 350 represents 5 tens, or 50; however,
the 5 in 5006 represents 5 thousands, or 5000.

The value of digits Stating the value Mathematics for Oral

The value of a digit can be found by setting of digits in given secondary schools
down the base and power of the digit. For numbers. in Guyana bk 3. Written
example, to find the value of 4 in 24 376, we
set it down as shown the table below
Grouping by 104 103 102 101 100

Digit 2 4 3 7 6

The value of the 4 is 4 × 103

= 4 × 1000
