Let's solve each problem step by step using the base-ten blocks shown in the image. Base-ten blocks represent numbers using:
-
Large cubes = 1,000 (thousands)
-
Flat squares = 100 (hundreds)
-
Long rods = 10 (tens)
-
Small cubes = 1 (ones)
We'll analyze each question and determine the digit in the specified place value.

Problem 1
What digit is in the thousands place?
Blocks shown:
- 1 large cube (1,000)
- 3 flat squares (3 × 100 = 300)
- 7 long rods (7 × 10 = 70)
- 4 small cubes (4 × 1 = 4)
Total number:
1,000 + 300 + 70 + 4 =
1,374
Thousands place:

Problem 2
What digit is in the hundreds place?
Blocks shown:
- 3 large cubes (3 × 1,000 = 3,000)
- 5 flat squares (5 × 100 = 500)
- 6 long rods (6 × 10 = 60)
- 0 small cubes
Total number:
3,000 + 500 + 60 =
3,560

Problem 3
What digit is in the hundreds place?
Blocks shown:
- 2 flat squares (2 × 100 = 200)
- 3 long rods (3 × 10 = 30)
- 5 small cubes (5 × 1 = 5)
Total number:
200 + 30 + 5 =
235
Hundreds place:
2

Problem 4
What digit is in the hundreds place?
Blocks shown:
- 3 flat squares (3 × 100 = 300)
- 8 long rods (8 × 10 = 80)
- 9 small cubes (9 × 1 = 9)
Total number:
300 + 80 + 9 =
389
Hundreds place:
3
✔ Answer: 3

Problem 5
What digit is in the tens place?
Blocks shown:
- 3 large cubes (3 × 1,000 = 3,000)
- 4 flat squares (4 × 100 = 400)
- 6 long rods (6 × 10 = 60)
- 3 small cubes (3 × 1 = 3)
Total number:
3,000 + 400 + 60 + 3 =
3,463
Tens place:
6
✔ Answer: 6

Problem 6
What digit is in the ones place?
Blocks shown:
- 1 flat square (100)
- 2 long rods (2 × 10 = 20)
- 6 small cubes (6 × 1 = 6)
Total number:
100 + 20 + 6 =
126
