Max Maths, Year 4, Try it, Place value to 10000

In a Max Maths exercise designed for Year 4 students, the task is to grasp the concept of place value up to 10,000. The exercise begins with the instruction to complete a table that helps identify and understand the value of digits in different places within a number. Students are presented with a number broken down into ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands, and they must fill in the blanks to demonstrate their knowledge of place value.

The activity requires students to state the digit in each place and explain what value it represents. For example, they need to identify the digit in the thousands place and understand that if the digit is '2', it represents '2,000'. Similarly, they must recognise the digits in the hundreds, tens, and ones places and articulate their respective values, such as '500', '70', and '6'. The final part of the first exercise involves combining these values to form the complete number. The second part of the activity asks students to write the value of a circled digit in various numbers, reinforcing their understanding of the positional value of digits within larger numbers.
