Using Number Expanders: 4-Digit
EASYTEACHING.NET
Overview:
A set of blank number expanders opened to different positions. Students choose their own 4-digit number to partition in different ways and write corresponding equations. Designed for middle and upper years students.
Learning Objectives:
- Develop a deeper understanding of place value in 4-digit numbers.
- Practise partitioning numbers in multiple ways using number expanders.
- Strengthen number sense by writing equations based on different partitions.
How the Activity Works:
Students select a 4-digit number and use the blank number expanders to break it down into different place value parts. They then write equations to represent each partitioning method. Using a physical number expander alongside this worksheet can provide additional support and reinforce conceptual understanding.
