Using Expanded Notation to Break Numbers by Place Value

This video tutorial teaches students how to use expanded form to understand place value. It explains how to break down numbers into their individual place values using arrow cards and addresses common misunderstandings students may have. The tutorial also demonstrates how to solve puzzles by stacking numbers and adding them to find the total. By the end of the lesson, students will be able to write numbers in expanded form and understand the value of each digit.
