Problem Description:
The task involves interpreting base ten blocks to write the numbers they represent. Base ten blocks are a visual tool used to teach place value, where:
-
Cubes represent thousands (1,000),
-
Flats represent hundreds (100),
-
Rods represent tens (10),
-
Units represent ones (1).
We need to count the number of each type of block in each problem and combine them to form the corresponding number.

Solution:
####
1)
-
Cubes (Thousands): 2
-
Flats (Hundreds): 5
-
Rods (Tens): 7
-
Units (Ones): 6
The number is formed by combining these values:
\[
2 \text{ (thousands)} + 5 \text{ (hundreds)} + 7 \text{ (tens)} + 6 \text{ (ones)} = 2,576
\]
####
2)
-
Cubes (Thousands): 3
-
Flats (Hundreds): 4
-
Rods (Tens): 2
-
Units (Ones): 8
The number is:
\[
3 \text{ (thousands)} + 4 \text{ (hundreds)} + 2 \text{ (tens)} + 8 \text{ (ones)} = 3,428
\]
####
3)
-
Cubes (Thousands): 2
-
Flats (Hundreds): 3
-
Rods (Tens): 5
-
Units (Ones): 9
The number is:
\[
2 \text{ (thousands)} + 3 \text{ (hundreds)} + 5 \text{ (tens)} + 9 \text{ (ones)} = 2,359
\]
####
4)
-
Cubes (Thousands): 4
-
Flats (Hundreds): 2
-
Rods (Tens): 6
-
Units (Ones): 7
The number is:
\[
4 \text{ (thousands)} + 2 \text{ (hundreds)} + 6 \text{ (tens)} + 7 \text{ (ones)} = 4,267
\]
####
5)
-
Cubes (Thousands): 1
-
Flats (Hundreds): 6
-
Rods (Tens): 4
-
Units (Ones): 9
The number is:
\[
1 \text{ (thousands)} + 6 \text{ (hundreds)} + 4 \text{ (tens)} + 9 \text{ (ones)} = 1,649
\]

Final Answers:
\[
\boxed{2576, 3428, 2359, 4267, 1649}
\]
