Picture this: digits change their value based on where they hang out in a number, especially around the decimal point. Before the decimal, we've got ones, tens, and hundreds; after, we've got tenths, hundredths, and thousandths. Don't forget our trusty place holders - those zeros at the end of a number. They team up with other digits, like 1, to tell us if it's worth 10, 100, or 1,000. For example, 648.937 is like a number superhero - 600 + 40 + 8 + 0.9 + 0.03 + 0.007.

Ready to dive into the world of place values? Take this quiz, read each question carefully, and show off your skills. Good luck!
