Overview

In this chapter, we learn about numbers beyond three digits. We explore how to read, write, and understand 4-digit and 5-digit numbers using place values like ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, and ten thousands. We also learn how to use an abacus, find place and face values, write numbers in expanded

Key Concepts

The value of a digit based

The value of a digit based on its position in a number. For example, in 3456, the digit 4 is in the hundreds place, so its place value is 400.

The face value of a digit

The face value of a digit is the digit itself, no matter where it is placed. For example, in 5678, the face value of 6 is 6.

Writing a number as the sum

Writing a number as the sum of the place values of its digits. For example, 2345 = 2000 + 300 + 40 + 5.

The standard way of writing

The standard way of writing a number. For example, 7000 + 400 + 50 + 8 = 7458.

Arranging numbers from smallest to greatest

Arranging numbers from smallest to greatest is ascending order, and from greatest to smallest is descending order.
