Both grades practice representing numbers using ten thousands, thousands, hundreds, tends AND ones.
We practiced trading.....
1 thousand for 10 hundreds
1 hundred for 10 tens
1 ten for 10 ones
The easiest way to do this is using a PLACE VALUE CHART.
For example 56 730
If we take one ten thousand away we would regroup is as 10 more thousands. Our new representation would be...
Each time you regroup by giving 10 to the place to the right. You can give 100 to the place two to the right!
Sorry about the mix up with handouts. Both grades are working on Lesson 2 Action Task and Your Turn Questions. USE A PLACE VALUE CHART TO FIND THE ANSWERS!
