Place Value Chart for Decimal Numbers

A place value chart is a essentially a table, in which you put all digits of a decimal number and label them. The names of the digits can be abbreviated, e.g.:

ones (O), tens (T), hundreds (H), and so on for the integer part,

or tenths (t), hundredths (h), thousandths (th) for the decimal places.
