Numbers and Base-Ten Blocks (Part 1)

This lesson teaches how to represent multi-digit whole numbers using base 10 blocks. It explains the concept of place values, where ones are represented by individual units, tens by rods, hundreds by flats, and thousands by cubes. The video provides a practical example by representing the number 4189 using these blocks, demonstrating the process from right to left, starting with the ones place and moving to the thousands place.

What is the representation of the thousands place in base 10 blocks?

Using the number 4189, explain how to represent it with base 10 blocks.
