math for the week of January 6th

We will be working some more with place value. We will review and make any necessary corrections on our math tests. Then here is some information of what we will be covering.

Place Values - Expanded Form

Each digit of a number, such as 495,786, has a different place value name.

4 9 5,7 8 6

| | | | | |__ digits' place value

| | | | |____ tens' place value

| | | |______ hundreds' place value

| | |________ thousands' place value

| |__________ ten-thousands' place value

|____________ hundred-thousands' place value

There are 4 sets of one hundred thousand, 9 sets of ten thousand, 5 sets of one thousand, 7 sets of one hundred, 8 sets of ten, and 6 ones in the number 495,786.

Expanded form shows the number expanded into an addition statement. The expanded form of 495,786 is 400,000 + 90,000 + 5,000 + 700 + 80 + 6.
