Grade 4 · Number · Lesson 1
Meet Numbers to 10,000
Use the position of each digit to read and represent large whole numbers.
The big idea
Take 6,482 apart by place value
- 6 thousands
- 6,000
- 4 hundreds
- 400
- 8 tens
- 80
- 2 ones
- 2
6,000 + 400 + 80 + 2 = 6,482
Read it as six thousand four hundred eighty-two.
Zeros hold places
Compare 4,025 and 4,250
In 4,025, the zero says there are no hundreds. In 4,250, the zero says there are no ones. Moving the digits changes their values.
