Convert between standard and expanded form

🎈1. Understanding Standard Form:

  • Definition: Standard form is the usual way of writing numbers using digits.
  • Example: The number 273 is in standard form.

πŸŽ†2. Understanding Expanded Form:

  • Definition: Expanded form breaks down a number into the sum of each digit multiplied by its place value.
  • Example: The number 273 in expanded form is 200 + 70 + 3.

πŸŽ‡3. Converting from Standard Form to Expanded Form:

  1. Identify Place Values: Determine the place value of each digit in the number.
    • Example: For 473:
      • 4 is in the hundreds place (400)
      • 7 is in the tens place (70)
      • 3 is in the ones place (3)
  2. Write Each Value Separately:
    • Break the number into its place value components.
    • Example: 473 = 400 + 70 + 3
  3. Combine the Values:
    • Add the values together to express the number in expanded form.
    • Example: 400 + 70 + 3 = 473 in standard form.

🧨4. Converting from Expanded Form to Standard Form:

  1. Add the Place Values Together:
    • Combine the place value components to form the number.
    • Example: For 500 + 20 + 8:
      • 500 (hundreds)
      • 20 (tens)
      • 8 (ones)
  2. Write the Combined Value:
    • Add the place values together.
    • Example: 500 + 20 + 8 = 528

πŸŽ‰5. Examples for Practice:

Standard Form to Expanded Form:

  • Convert 245 to expanded form:
    • 245 = 200 + 40 + 5
  • Convert 379 to expanded form:
    • 379 = 300 + 70 + 9

Expanded Form to Standard Form:

  • Convert 600 + 50 + 7 to standard form:
    • 600 + 50 + 7 = 657
  • Convert 400 + 30 + 2 to standard form:
    • 400 + 30 + 2 = 432

πŸŽ‰6. Key Steps for Conversion:

From Standard to Expanded:

  • Identify the place value of each digit.
  • Write each digit as a multiple of its place value.
  • Combine these values to form the expanded form.

From Expanded to Standard:

  • Add up all the place value components.
  • Write the final sum as a single number in standard form.

πŸŽƒ7. Tips for Students:

  • Place Value Chart: Use a place value chart to visualize and organize digits.
  • Break Down the Number: Focus on each digit’s place value when converting.
  • Practice Regularly: Work on practice problems to become more comfortable with both forms.

Learn with an example

  • 700 is 7 hundreds.
    40 is 4 tens.
    3 is 3 ones.
  • Use a place value chart:

hundreds
tensones
743
  • The number is 743.
  • 700 is 7 hundreds.
    80 is 8 tens.
    8 is 8 ones.
  • Use a place value chart:

hundreds
tensones
788
  • The number is 788.
  • 800 is 8 hundreds.
    70 is 7 tens.
    9 is 9 ones.
  • Use a place value chart:

hundreds
tensones
879
  • The number is 879.
