Classroom Considerations
  • Note that the resource uses abcd as a four-digit number rather than the product of four values, which may cause some confusion
  • Learners need to understand expanded forms of numbers using place value
Pros

  • Includes discussion questions to help teachers guide learning
Cons
  • References to CST/CAHSEE are outdated as California no longer administers these assessments
