Introduction to 1000
When we add 1 to 999, we get the smallest 4-digit number, which is one thousand (1,000).
Place Value of 4-Digit Numbers
Every digit in a 4-digit number has a place value: Thousands, Hundreds, Tens, and Ones, starting from the left.
Reading and Writing Number Names
Numbers up to 9,999 are read and written by combining the thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones places correctly.
Expanded Form
Writing a number by showing the value of each digit, such as 4,523 = 4000 + 500 + 20 + 3.
Comparing Numbers
To find which 4-digit number is bigger, we first compare the thousands digit, then hundreds, tens, and ones if needed.
