What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students identify the value of each digit in numbers through 10,000. They move between numerals, number words, and sums of place values, including numbers with zeros.

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can show 4,062 as four thousand sixty two and 4,000 + 60 + 2. The student keeps zero places clear and checks that all forms name the same amount.

Common Misconceptions

Students may read 4,062 as four thousand six hundred two or expand it as 4,000 + 600 + 2. They may drop zero places or misplace the comma.

How to Assess It

Exit ticket: Write nine thousand forty six in standard form and expanded form, then state the value of the 4.

Ways to Teach It

  1. Give pairs digit cards and place value mats; call a number, then have students build it and record all three forms.

  2. Ask, "How are 5,204 and 5,240 alike and different?" Students write both expanded forms and explain each zero.

  3. Play Number Form Match with cards showing numerals, number words, and expanded sums; teams collect matching sets of three.

  4. Use a stadium attendance chart; students choose one crowd total, write it three ways, and compare it with another total.
