Place Value, Rounding, Addition, and Subtraction

Lesson 2

Math

Unit 1

4th Grade

Lesson 2 of 19

Objective

Build numbers to 10,000 and write numbers to that place value in standard, unit, and expanded form.

Common Core Standards

Core Standards

  • 4.NBT.A.1 — Recognize that in a multi-digit whole number, a digit in one place represents ten times what it represents in the place to its right. For example, recognize that 700 ÷ 70 = 10 by applying concepts of place value and division.
  • 4.NBT.A.2 — Read and write multi-digit whole numbers using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form. Compare two multi-digit numbers based on meanings of the digits in each place, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.

Foundational Standards

  • 2.NBT.A.1
  • 2.NBT.A.2
  • 2.NBT.A.3

Criteria for Success

  1. Make use of the structure of the place value system to extend the counting sequence to 10,000 (MP.7).
  2. Understand that 10 of one unit is equivalent to 1 of the next largest unit (e.g., 10 ones is equivalent to 1 ten, 10 hundreds is 1 thousand, etc.). 
  3. Know the value of each digit in any number up to 10,000.
  4. Write numbers up to 10,000 in standard, unit, and (optionally) expanded form.
  5. Convert between standard, unit, and (optionally) expanded form when given a number in one of those forms.

Tips for Teachers

  • Expanded form, while part of the objective, is optional here. There is a later lesson on writing numbers up to 1 million in expanded form, but after this lesson, students will be expected to be very comfortable with unit form. Thus, if students are struggling with unit form, counting, or representing numbers to 10,000, it may be best to postpone discussing expanded form. 
  • The Problem Set contains exercises that ask students to write numbers in expanded form. This is an optional part of the lesson, so if you decide to postpone the introduction of expanded form, make sure to make those aspects of the Problem Set optional. 
  • There are no Extra Practice Problems today to allow teachers to build in math routines throughout the first few days of school.

Lesson Materials

  • Base ten blocks (5 thousands, 2 hundreds, 7 tens, and 8 ones per student or small group) — You could just use one set for the teacher if materials are limited.
  • Thousands place value chart (1 per student) — Students might need more or less depending on their reliance on this tool.

Problem Set

15-20 minutes

Discussion of Problem Set

  • Look at #7a. How did you write this number in unit, standard, and expanded form? 
  • Look at #7b. How did you write this number in unit, standard, and expanded form?
  • What are the similarities and differences between the different ways we can represent and write a number? 

Target Task

5-10 minutes

Fill out the following chart.

Standard form Unit form Expanded form
    5,000 + 400 + 3
  8 thousands 6 hundreds 3 tens 2 ones  
2,061

Additional Practice

The Extra Practice Problems can be used as additional practice for homework, during an intervention block, etc. Daily Word Problems and Fluency Activities are aligned to the content of the unit but not necessarily to the lesson objective, therefore feel free to use them anytime during your school day.

Word Problems and Fluency Activities

Word Problems and Fluency Activities

Help students strengthen their application and fluency skills with daily word problem practice and content-aligned fluency activities.

Next

Model and write numbers to 10,000 with more than 9 of any unit in standard and unit form.
