Grade 4

What is a thousand?

thousand

Ten hundreds grouped together, written 1000.

For example

Ten crates of one hundred limes hold one thousand limes.

In Grade 4

Children bundle ten hundreds together and watch a new column appear on the place value chart.

Watch out for

Children often write two thousand and fifty as 200050. Each place holds one digit only, so the zeros do the work.

Say it at home

Look at large prices or crowd numbers and read the thousands out loud together.
