Let's solve each problem step by step using the base-ten blocks shown in the image. Each type of block represents a different place value:
-
Large cube = 1,000 (thousands)
-
Flat square = 100 (hundreds)
-
Rod (long rectangle) = 10 (tens)
-
Small cube = 1 (ones)
We will analyze each question based on the blocks shown.

Problem 1
Blocks shown:
- 1 large cube (1,000)
- 3 flat squares (3 × 100 = 300)
- 7 rods (7 × 10 = 70)
- 5 small cubes (5 × 1 = 5)
So the number is:
1,000 + 300 + 70 + 5 =
1,375
Question: What digit is in the
thousands place?
👉 The thousands digit is
1
✔ Answer: 1

Problem 2
Blocks shown:
- 3 flat squares (3 × 100 = 300)
- 6 rods (6 × 10 = 60)
- 4 small cubes (4 × 1 = 4)
So the number is:
300 + 60 + 4 =
364
Question: What digit is in the
hundreds place?
👉 The hundreds digit is
3
✔ Answer: 3

Problem 3
Blocks shown:
- 2 flat squares (2 × 100 = 200)
- 4 rods (4 × 10 = 40)
- 8 small cubes (8 × 1 = 8)
So the number is:
200 + 40 + 8 =
248
Question: What digit is in the
hundreds place?
👉 The hundreds digit is
2
✔ Answer: 2

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

Problem 5
Blocks shown:
- 3 large cubes (3 × 1,000 = 3,000)
- 4 flat squares (4 × 100 = 400)
- 5 rods (5 × 10 = 50)
- 3 small cubes (3 × 1 = 3)
So the number is:
3,000 + 400 + 50 + 3 =
3,453
Question: What digit is in the
tens place?
👉 The tens digit is
5
✔ Answer: 5
---
Problem 6
Blocks shown:
- 1 flat square (1 × 100 = 100)
- 3 rods (3 × 10 = 30)
- 6 small cubes (6 × 1 = 6)
So the number is:
100 + 30 + 6 =
136
Question: What digit is in the
ones place?
👉 The ones digit is
6
✔ Answer: 6
