Check understanding

  • State the value of each digit in a four-digit number (e.g. in 7,345 the 7 represents 7 thousands)
  • Partition a four-digit number into thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones
  • Compose a four-digit number from given place-value parts (e.g. 3000 + 400 + 50 + 2 = 3,452)
“If your child sees the number 5,347, can they tell you the value of each digit — that the 5 means 5,000, the 3 means 300, the 4 means 40, and the 7 means 7?”
