How the lesson starts: Read, Write & Expanded Form

  1. All aboard!

    Choo choo! Here comes Conductor Leo's number train. It carries 374 teddy bears. Let's unpack the train, one car at a time!

  2. What's inside?

    Look inside the train. There are 3 hundreds, 7 tens, and 4 ones. 3 hundreds is 300. 7 tens is 70. 4 ones is 4. Put them together with plus signs. That's expanded form!

  3. Let's stretch 628

    Next train: 628. Stretch it out. 6 hundreds is 600. 2 tens is 20. 8 ones is 8. So 628 = 600 + 20 + 8!
