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.
