Math
We continued to explore place value. Modeling numbers different ways and regrouping to a lower place and regrouping to a higher place.

Grade 4: (Draw a place value chart to help)

A number is represented by 20 hundred blocks and some tens blocks. What could the number be?

An ice cream store has a sign that reads 3679 ice cream cones sold. Model this number by drawing base ten blocks.

Each week the ice cream store sells 100 more ice cream cones for the next 5 weeks. What should the sign read at the end of 5 weeks? 

Model these numbers using only hundreds blocks and then only tens blocks: 
 6000, 4000, 7000

Model 9233 using 35 blocks. Is there more than one answer?
