What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students read and write whole numbers through 1,000 in numeral, number-name, and expanded forms. They connect every digit to hundreds, tens, and ones.

What Mastery Looks Like

A student reads 507 as five hundred seven and writes it as 500 + 7. The student uses zero to preserve the empty tens place.

Common Misconceptions

Students may write 507 as 57 or 5007, omit a place in expanded form, or read digits separately. They may add a zero term that changes the number.

How to Assess It

Give students 684 and 709. Ask for each number name and expanded form, then rebuild the numerals.

Ways to Teach It

  1. Build three-digit numbers with base-ten blocks and write each in numeral, word, and expanded forms.

  2. Ask students what the zero protects in 604.

  3. Play three-form match with numeral, number-name, expanded-form, and model cards through 1,000.

  4. Read attendance or inventory totals and record each total in all three forms.
