Let's solve this step by step based on the
Base 10 Blocks: Part 2 worksheet.
---
🔢 Understanding Base-10 Blocks:
-
1 cube = 1
-
1 long (rod) = 10
-
1 flat (square) = 100
-
1 big cube (1000 cubes) = 1000
We will analyze each group of blocks and determine:
1. The total number represented.
2. Which expanded form is correct.

##
✔ First Group (Top Left):
🔹 Blocks shown:
-
4 large cubes → 4 × 1000 =
4000
-
3 flats → 3 × 100 =
300
-
2 longs → 2 × 10 =
20
-
9 cubes → 9 × 1 =
9
🔹 Total:
4000 + 300 + 20 + 9 =
4329
✔ So, circle
4329 from the options:
3428,
4327,
4329 →
✔ Circle 4329
Now check the
expanded form:
- Option 1: 4000 + 300 + 20 + 7 →
✘ (wrong units)
- Option 2: 4000 + 300 + 20 + 9 →
✔ Correct!
👉 Check the box:
☑️ 4000+300+20+9

##
✔ Second Group (Bottom Left):
🔹 Blocks shown:
-
8 large cubes → 8 × 1000 =
8000
-
5 flats → 5 × 100 =
500
-
0 longs → 0 × 10 = 0
-
1 cube → 1 × 1 =
1
🔹 Total:
8000 + 500 + 0 + 1 =
8501
✔ So, circle
8501 from the options:
851,
8501,
8500 →
✔ Circle 8501
Now check the
expanded form:
- Option 1: 8000 + 500 + 1 →
✔ Correct!
- Option 2: 8000 + 50 + 1 →
✘ (should be 500, not 50)
👉 Check the box:
☑️ 8000+500+1

🟩 Final Answers:
#### First Set:
- Circle:
4329
- Check:
4000 + 300 + 20 + 9
#### Second Set:
- Circle:
8501
- Check:
8000 + 500 + 1

✔ Summary:
| Group | Number Shown | Correct Expanded Form |
|------|---------------|------------------------|
| Top | 4329 | 4000 + 300 + 20 + 9 |
| Bottom | 8501 | 8000 + 500 + 1 |
You’ve now solved both problems correctly! 😊
