Advanced Practice Exercise 1
Write the expanded form of: 47
Solution:

Expanded form: Writing a number as the sum of its place values. For 2-digit numbers: Tens + Ones

Advanced practice method:
  1. Identify the digit in the tens place
  2. Identify the digit in the ones place
  3. Write each digit with its place value
  4. Connect with addition sign

47
Step 1: Identify place values

In 47: Tens digit = 4, Ones digit = 7

Step 2: Calculate place values

Tens place: 4 × 10 = 40, Ones place: 7 × 1 = 7

Step 3: Write expanded form

47 = 40 + 7

47 = 40 + 7
Final answer:

47 = 40 + 7

Advanced practice rules:

• Place value: Each digit has a value based on its position

• Tens rule: Tens digit × 10

• Ones rule: Ones digit × 1

• Expanded form: Sum of place values

2 Complex decomposition
Advanced Practice Exercise 2
Write the expanded form of: 83
Solution:

Expanded form: Breaking a number into parts showing each digit's value based on position

8
3
→
80
+

=
83
Step 1: Identify digits and positions

In 83: Tens digit is 8, Ones digit is 3

Step 2: Calculate each place value

8 tens = 8 × 10 = 80, 3 ones = 3 × 1 = 3

Step 3: Combine with addition

83 = 80 + 3

83 = 80 + 3
Final answer:

83 = 80 + 3

Advanced rules:

• Position matters: Leftmost digit is tens, rightmost is ones

• Value calculation: Digit × Place value (10 for tens, 1 for ones)

• Sum formation: Add all calculated values together

Advanced Practice Exercise 3
Write the expanded form of: 96
Solution:

Expanded form: Expressing a number as the sum of each digit multiplied by its place value

9
6
→
90
+
6
=
96
Step 1: Analyze the number

96 has two digits: 9 in tens place, 6 in ones place

Step 2: Calculate place values

9 tens = 9 × 10 = 90, 6 ones = 6 × 1 = 6

Step 3: Write the expanded form

96 = 90 + 6

96 = 90 + 6
Final answer:

96 = 90 + 6

Advanced practice rules:

74
Step 1: Recognize the digits

74 has two digits: 7 in tens place and 4 in ones place

Step 2: Compute place values

7 tens = 7 × 10 = 70, 4 ones = 4 × 1 = 4

Step 3: Write the expanded form

74 = 70 + 4

Step 4: Validate the answer

70 + 4 = 74 ✓

74 = 70 + 4
Final answer:

74 = 70 + 4

Advanced practice rules:

Critical Thinking Challenge

Problem: If a number has expanded form 30 + 7, what would happen if we switched the digits?

Solution:

  • Original number: 30 + 7 = 37
  • Switched digits: 70 + 3 = 73
  • Difference: 73 - 37 = 36

The number increases by 36 when digits are switched.

Ordering Challenge

General Expanded Form Formula
Key definitions:

Place value: The value of a digit based on its position in a number

Expanded form: Writing a number as the sum of each digit's place value

Tens place: The second digit from the right, multiplied by 10

Ones place: The rightmost digit, multiplied by 1

Standard form: The regular way we write numbers (e.g., 24)

Word form: Writing numbers using words (e.g., twenty-four)

Complete methodology:
  1. Digit identification: Recognize each digit in the number
  2. Position determination: Identify tens and ones places
  3. Value calculation: Multiply each digit by its place value
  4. Expression formation: Write the sum of calculated values
  5. Verification: Check that the sum equals the original number
Tip 1: Remember: Tens digit × 10, Ones digit × 1
Tip 2: Think of tens as groups of 10, ones as single items
Tip 3: Always add the expanded parts to verify your answer
Tip 4: Practice with visual aids like base-10 blocks
Common errors: Confusing tens and ones positions, forgetting to multiply by place value, miscounting digits.
Memory aid: "Teens are tens" - the first digit is always tens place in 2-digit numbers.
Essential rules to remember:

• Place value rule: In 2-digit numbers, left digit is tens, right digit is ones

• Multiplication rule: Tens digit × 10, Ones digit × 1

• Addition rule: Sum of expanded parts equals original number

• Verification rule: Always check by adding expanded parts
