This week in math, we're studying place value. We're looking at whole numbers (up to 100,000) and exploring what they mean and how to represent them.
Yesterday, we briefly discussed Expanded Form. Expanded form shows a number as an "addition statement" of the values in the ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, etc. columns.
56,235 = 50,000 + 6,000 + 200 + 30 + 5
(Standard (Expanded Form)
Form)
Homework question: When do you think Expanded Form will be used or be helpful in math? Write your answer (2-3 sentences) in your Math Notebook. You may also want to give an example of when Expanded Form may be used.
Extra Practice: If you'd like a review on Expanded Form, try this online game - Place Value Pirates:

The game only shows numbers up to 1,000, but it's a good review.
