This learning resource focuses on understanding place value relationships in multi-digit numbers. It outlines a comprehensive four-day journey where students learn how a digit’s value changes tenfold as it shifts between place values. The first day introduces place value relationships and includes modeling with base-ten blocks. The second day involves reading and writing multi-digit numbers in standard, word, and expanded forms. The third day emphasizes comparing multi-digit numbers through guided practice. The final day integrates review and progress monitoring, allowing students to reflect on their learning and demonstrate their understanding through various problems. Key vocabulary includes terms like 'place value', 'digit', 'tenfold', and 'expanded form'.
