A better understanding of our number system
Most students and many adults have difficulty understanding our number system. The Hindu-Arabic system which we use is a tens system. The place value, beyond the units place, that each number holds is based on the power of the number ten. For example, the nine in 1906 is in the hundreds place which means that its value is nine times ten squared. The one is in the thousands place which means that its value is one times ten cubed or one times ten to the third power (10×l0×l0).
