PLACE VALUE IN MATHS means the value of an integer according to its position in the whole number, for instance the value of the 3 in the number 45378 is three hundred.
The international number system and the Nepali is slightly different. The chart above (click for larger image) shows the different columns, and the whole sheet can be printed on coloured paper and laminated. The numbers on the left are cut into small squares and the class can discuss the value of those numbers according to where they are placed on the chart.
SHIVA Charity (UK) puts these free educational pages on its web site in order to be used primarily in Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Darjeeling, India, where lessons are mostly repetitive "chalk and talk" and curriculum restrained. We are involved in teachers' resources training there, and hope that schools in the UK and elsewhere will support SHIVA Charity's cause with funding. Please visit our main pages to see the work we do, and how we raise money for individual projects and for child sponsorship.
