options: Perform operations with multi-digit whole numbers and with decimals to hundredths.

Work with numbers 11–19 to gain foundations for place value.

Use place value understanding and properties of operations to add and subtract.

Understand place value.

Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic. (A range of algorithms may be used.)

Generalize place value understanding for multi-digit whole numbers.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 1,000,000.

Extend the counting sequence.

Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 1,000,000.

Understand the place value system.
problem_activity: Narrative
This warm-up prompts students to analyze an example of subtraction using both the standard algorithm and expanded form. The numbers require decomposing multiple units, which are shown in both strategies. The observations here prepare students to later reason with similar subtraction problems in which more than one decomposition is needed.

Activity Synthesis
“How are the two examples alike? How are they different?” (In the second one the numbers are written in expanded form, including the numbers that show regrouping.)
“We’ve seen subtraction problems with decomposed units before. How are these different?” (In the problems we have seen so far, only one place needed to be decomposed in order to subtract. In these examples, more than one place needs to be decomposed.)
