Multi-Step Practice:






**Idea**
Have the kids roll dice, turn over a deck of cards, or create numbers using dominos to create a number (you choose to what place value)

Questions you can ask your child once they create the number: 
What place value is the {pick a #} in?
How much is the {pick a #} in the {place value} worth?
Point to the {place value}

***When I say 'place value' I mean the hundred thousands, ten thousands, thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones place

EXPANDED NOTATION:

This will be the trickiest of them all! 
Create a number using the ideas listed above and have your child write the number in expanded notation.
Example: 35,627
Answer: (3 x 10,000)  + (5x1,000) + (6 x 100) + (2 x 10) + ( 7 x 1) = 35,627

Rounding on a number line:

1. Give the child a number betweek 0 and 9,999 (they can roll dice, use playing cards, or you can simply pick a number). 
2. Draw a number line and label what multiples of TEN or HUNDRED the number falls between.
3. Mark the MIDPOINT of those multiples of ten/hundred
4. Mark and draw where the number chosen would fall to.
