  • 4Identify the value of a specified digit anywhere through the millions place
📘

Mini Lesson

Numbers up to ten million show up in populations, distances in space, and big data sets. Every whole number can be written three ways: standard form (digits only), word form (written-out words), and expanded form (each place value shown as an addition).

The Place-Value Chart Through Millions

  • Seven place values from right to left: ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten-thousands, hundred-thousands, millions.
  • Each place is 10 times greater than the place to its right.
  • Group digits in threes from the right and separate each group with a comma: 4,827,653.
  • Each three-digit group is called a period: ones period, thousands period, and millions period.

Standard Form

  • Write the digits in order from greatest place to least.
  • Insert a comma after every third digit from the right: 4,827,653.
  • Example: four million, eighty thousand, two hundred fifty becomes 4,080,250.

Word Form

  • Name the millions period, then the thousands period, then the rest.
  • Use the word "million" after the millions group and "thousand" after the thousands group.
  • A zero in any place is not spoken: 4,080,250 is "four million, eighty thousand, two hundred fifty".

Expanded Form

  • Break the number into the value of each non-zero digit and add them.
  • 4,827,653 becomes 4,000,000 + 800,000 + 20,000 + 7,000 + 600 + 50 + 3.
  • Skip any place whose digit is zero — no zero addends.

Tip: group digits in threes from the right, then insert commas. Read each period (millions, thousands, ones) like its own three-digit number.
