Learning journey
Your child is working with larger numbers up to 10,000 — understanding place value in four-digit numbers, learning to round numbers, and exploring negative numbers and Roman numerals.
Evidence of understanding
- Given 4,562, state that 1000 more is 5,562 and 1000 less is 3,562
- Explain using place value that only the thousands digit changes
- Apply this skill to numbers beyond 10,000
Assessment prompt
