What this Grade 3 benchmark means, worked examples, common mistakes, and a free printable worksheet.
Created by a Florida mom · Published by Tropical Learning LLC
Grade 3 students read and write numbers from 0 to 10,000 in standard form (2,530), expanded form (2,000 + 500 + 30), and word form (two thousand five hundred thirty).
Zeros need extra care. In 4,067 there are no hundreds, so the expanded form is 4,000 + 60 + 7.
Official benchmarkRead and write numbers from 0 to 10,000 using standard form, expanded form and word form.

Worked Example 1
Worked Example 2
Three thousand needs four digits. There are no hundreds and no ones: 3,040.
The 3 is in the ones place, so it is worth 3: 6,203 = 6,000 + 200 + 3.
Use a place value chart with thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones. Writing each digit in its own column makes missing places (zeros) easy to see.
