What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students read and write numbers through 1,200 in standard, word, and expanded forms. They show how each digit's place determines its value.

What Mastery Looks Like

Students can represent any number through 1,200 in standard, word, and expanded form. They can move accurately between all three forms and use zero as a placeholder when needed.

Common Misconceptions

Students may write 642 as 60042 or expand it as 6 + 4 + 2. They may also confuse number words such as fourteen and forty or omit zero placeholders in numbers like 1,005.

How to Assess It

Give students the number 1,072. Ask them to write it in word form and expanded form, then explain what the zero means.

Ways to Teach It

  1. Give pairs base-ten blocks to build a number, then record its standard, word, and expanded forms on a place-value mat.

  2. Display 1,105 and ask students to write how they know the value of each digit, including the zero.

  3. Play a matching game with cards showing standard, word, and expanded forms for the same numbers.

  4. Use a store receipt total, such as 1,148 cents, and have students represent the amount in all three forms.
