Place Value Test on Friday

As most of you may know, we have our first math test on Friday - Place Value! The entire class has been showing a good understanding of the concepts so far and should hopefully be very successful on the test! Here are a few things to study!

Students should know how to give me the numbers in standard form

Example: 3,456

They should also know how to represent a number in expanded form

Example: 3000 + 400 + 50 + 6

Another form we have been practicing in class is word form

Example: Three thousand four hundred fifty-six

*For word form there are a few things to remember! We don't use the word "and" when writing out the numbers and spelling does not count! (as long as I can tell what they are trying to write)

Finally, the students may need to represent number in picture form using base ten block drawings

Example: You can view a video and some images of base ten blocks here: http://www.mathatube.com/base-ten-block-understanding.html

Good luck & happy studying!
