Found this example on a website, it would look like the 2 has the lowest number because it’s worth 2 “ones”.
Students in Grade 3 will learn that each digit in larger numbers has a value, depending on its position in the number. For example, in the number 52,478, the 5 is worth 5 “ten-thousands” (or 50,000), the 2 is worth 2 “thousands” (or 2,000), the 4 is worth 4 “hundreds” (or 400), the 7 is worth 7 “tens” (or 70), and the 8 is worth 8 “ones”, or simply 8.

Here's the site I looked it up on... math is just not the same as when we were kids! I have to research my kids homework all the time!
2|2|I agree, 2 has the least value as it is the "ones" or units digit.|maraj|maraj64@hotmail.com|19:54:08|09/21/2011|
Smile... it makes people wonder what you're up to!
Please identify yourself in 1st email w/name/username. Due to recent problem trades, if I haven't traded w/you before, I will probably require you send your end 1st or I'll need LEGIT trade references/feedback. I will be happy to provide the same. IF you plan to hold your end til you've received mine, I will need to know that IMMEDIATELY, BEFORE trade is finalized.

when I was looking I found this example...
http://www.superteacherworksheets.com/place-value/placeval-underlined5.pdf
Seems to me they are saying 0 would be the least it is equal to zero of what ever place value it is in. (zero tens in your example)
See the answer key for letter e
Since math is not the same as it was when I went to grade school please feel free to educate me if I read this example wrong.

That's my answer. 5|2|2 as it is in the *ones* position and not 0 as it is in the *tens* position :)|QponFreebieQueen|QponFreebieQueen@gmail.com|22:58:09|09/21/2011|

Thanks so much for the answers, lol............My answer to her was 2...........she believes it is zero............because if you have zero in the tens place, you still only have a zero value because their are no tens..........which is a good point from a smart 9 year old, lol 7|2|When she finds out the answer please let us know! I agree with her based on my research.|bluh2oeyes|bluh2oeyes@yahoo.com|08:03:23|09/22/2011|

8|3|I'm going with 0|Sara_s_Mom|IClipCoupons@gmail.com|08:17:29|09/22/2011|
In the number above, which digit has the least value?
It says digit. Not placeholder or unit.
10|4|I would agree....zero is still zero as an individual digit, right?|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|08:27:50|09/22/2011|

One of those "trick" questions. LOL
But your daughter has a good point about the 0 having no value as the tens digit so she may be right. And she'd certainly know how the math works nowadays better than we do. LOL
I don't recall covering anything like that back in the day when I was in school.
They were so focused on the metric system back then that nobody thought about the value of a digit. Seems only soda pop & liquor/wine are the only metric converts cuz even tho there are 2 liter bottles of soda pop & 1.75L/750ml, etc. for liquor/wine, we're still putting in gallons (not liters) of gas, buying gallons/half gallons of milk, using yard (not meters) sticks, traveling miles (instead of kilometers), weighing in ounces & pounds (not grams) & measuring temps in Fahrenheit instead of Celsius. :-p LOL
I can visualize a new tv show in the making here, titled "Are You Smarter Than A 3rd Grader". :-O LOLOL
