Numbers to 10,000
Identify, represent, and estimate numbers up to 10,000 using different representations
Suggested ages 8–9
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
- Represent a four-digit number on a place-value chart or with base-ten materials
- Estimate where a number falls on a 0–10,000 number line
- Match different representations of the same number (e.g. expanded form, place-value counters, numeral)
Assessment prompt
Can Numbers to 10,000 mark a number like 6,400 roughly in the right place on a number line that goes from 0 to 10,000 — and explain how they decided where to put it?
