Partitioning 4-Digit Numbers (2)

EASYTEACHING.NET
Overview:
Students write 4-digit numbers and matching equations based on MAB block representations. Designed for middle years students.
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., 3,417 = 3,000 + 400 + 10 + 7). This activity reinforces place value understanding using concrete representations.
