- write numbers in standard form.
- write numbers in expanded form.
Essential Questions
How are relationships represented mathematically?
How can mathematics support effective communication?
How can recognizing repetition or regularity assist in solving problems more efficiently?
How is mathematics used to quantify, compare, represent, and model numbers?
What does it mean to estimate or analyze numerical quantities?
What makes a tool and/or strategy appropriate for a given task?
- How is mathematics used to quantify, compare, represent, and model numbers?
Vocabulary
- Equivalent: Having the same value or amount.
- Expanded Form: A way to write numbers that shows the value of each digit (e.g., 4,372 = 4,000 + 300 + 70 + 2).
