Dear Family Member:
Your child is reviewing place value—the idea that the value of a digit in a number depends upon where it is placed. For example, the 2 in 329 stands for 2 tens but the 2 in 7293 is 2 hundreds. In class your child uses base-ten pieces to represent numbers. When the pieces are not available, students are encouraged to draw
pictures of the base-ten pieces. We call these drawings of the base-ten pieces base-ten shorthand.
The sketches below show the number of Chocos made by workers at the TIMS Candy Company. Write the amount of candy using numbers. Write a number sentence to match the base-ten shorthand.
