Train Numbers

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a numerical exercise where students are provided with a visual representation of numbers in expanded form using a train illustration. Each train carries three carriages, with each carriage representing a place value: hundreds, tens, and ones. The numbers are broken into their constituent parts according to place value and are displayed in separate carriages. Students must then write the combined number in standard form in the space provided.

The worksheet teaches students how to convert numbers from expanded form to standard form. It reinforces the understanding that numbers are made up of different place values, which when combined, create the total value of the number. This concept is foundational for understanding the base-ten number system and is critical for all mathematical operations involving addition, subtraction, and understanding the value of numbers. By practicing this skill, students become more proficient in number sense and numerical representation.
