- Level 2: Find the missing part
- Write the missing number.
- Level 3: Parts out of order
- Add the parts. Write the number.
Worked example
How the sheet explains it
The helper printed at the top of each sheet: one solved example and the steps a student follows, before the first question. Every number sentence in it is proven by the same checker as the answer key.
Level 1: Write the number
5274 = 5000 + 200 + 70 + 4
- Each part fills one place, from the largest on the left.
- 5000 + 200 + 70 + 4 = 5274.
- A place with no part would get a 0.
Level 2: Find the missing part
6932 = 6000 + 900 + 30 + 2
- The hundreds digit of 6932 is 9, so the missing part is 900.
- Check: 6000 + 900 + 30 + 2 = 6932.
Level 3: Parts out of order
40 + 3000 + 6 = 3046
- Put the parts in order, largest first.
- 3000 + 40 + 6 = 3046.
- There are no hundreds, so write 0 there: 3046.
