Twelve four-digit numbers to write in expanded form: 4,825 = 4,000 + 800 + 20 + 5. It is the same idea as the two- and three-digit sheets with one more place, the thousands. None of the numbers has a zero digit, so every answer has four parts. Read each one aloud as it is written to check it: “four thousand, eight hundred, twenty, five”.
