Place Value Expansion

Lesson Page 4, Section 8

What you'll work on

Break any number into its place value parts using three equivalent forms: exponential (powers of 10), multiplicative, and additive.

Big Idea for this lesson

$A painted illustration on parchment of three softly-painted horizontal rows stacked vertically on a single page, each row showing the same simple cluster of small dots arranged in slightly different visual patterns to suggest three equivalent forms of the same quantity. Warm scholarly tones, classical-education aesthetic, no text or numbers.$

Every number can be broken into place value parts using powers of 10. All three forms — exponential, multiplicative, and additive — show the same number in different levels of detail.
