Partitioning 4-Digit Numbers (1)

EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

Students write 4-digit numbers and matching equations based on MAB block representations. Designed for students in years 3 and 4.

Learning Objectives:

  • Recognise and interpret MAB representations of 4-digit numbers.
  • Write numbers in standard notation.
  • Express numbers as partitioned addition equations.

How the Activity Works:

Students observe 4-digit numbers represented with MAB blocks and write the corresponding number in digits. They then create an equation that matches the partitioning (e.g., 4,634 = 4,000 + 600 + 30 + 4). This activity reinforces place value understanding using concrete representations.
