📚 Part 1: Multiple Choice (with explanations)

1. What digit is in the hundreds place of 5,482?

4

8

5

2

Answer: 4. Explanation: 5,482 = 5,000 + 400 + 80 + 2. The hundreds place is the 400, so the digit is 4.

2. Which number has a 3 in the thousands place?

23,514

3,827

133,209

7,305

Answer: 23,514; 3,827; and 133,209 each have a 3 in the thousands place. Explanation: In 23,514 the thousands digit is 3 (23,000); in 3,827 it is 3 (3,000); in 133,209 the thousands digit is the third-from-right 3 (3,000). 7,305 has a 7 in the thousands place.

3. What is the value of the 7 in 47,309?

7

70

700

7,000

Answer: 7,000. Explanation: In 47,309 the 7 is in the thousands place, so its value is 7 × 1,000 = 7,000.

4. Choose the correct written form of 60,204:

Sixty thousand two hundred four

Six thousand twenty-four

Sixty thousand and twenty-four

Six hundred two thousand four

Answer: Sixty thousand two hundred four. Explanation: In American English we write whole numbers without "and": 60,204 = sixty thousand + two hundred + four.

✏️ Part 2: Short Answers (show answer + brief explanation)

5. Write 82,356 in expanded form.

Answer: 80,000 + 2,000 + 300 + 50 + 6. Explanation: Each digit is written as its place value sum.

6. What is the value of the 5 in 45,218?

Answer: 5,000. Explanation: The 5 is in the thousands place, so it represents 5 × 1,000 = 5,000.

7. Compare these numbers. Write >, <, or = and explain in one sentence: 34,709 ____ 34,790

Answer: < . Explanation: Both numbers match through the hundreds place (34,7__), but 34,709 has a 0 in the tens place while 34,790 has a 9, and 0 < 9 so 34,709 < 34,790.

8. Round 68,243 to the nearest thousand.

Answer: 68,000. Explanation: Look at the hundreds digit (2). Since it is less than 5, round down and keep the thousands digit (68,000).

🧭 Teacher Notes & Supports

I can: I can identify the value of digits in whole numbers and write numbers in expanded form.

Success criteria: I can point to a digit, name its place (ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, etc.), give its value, and write a number as a sum of place values.

Differentiation strategies: Use place-value charts and base-ten blocks for students who need support; read questions aloud and provide one-on-one modeling; give shorter prompts as needed.

Extension activities: Convert numbers between standard, expanded, and word forms up to 7 digits; have advanced learners create their own 5- or 6-digit numbers and explain each digit's value.

Dyslexia-friendly options: Provide a version with larger spacing and a sans-serif font, allow colored overlays, read items aloud, and allow extra time for reading and responses.
