Introduction to 4-Digit Numbers
Numbers that have four digits, starting from 1000 and going up to 9999, are called 4-digit numbers.
Place Value and Face Value
Face value is the digit itself, while place value depends on the position of the digit (Ones, Tens, Hundreds, Thousands).
Expanded Form
Writing a number by showing the value of each digit according to its place value (e.g., 4325 = 4000 + 300 + 20 + 5).
Comparing Numbers
Comparing 4-digit numbers by first looking at the thousands place, and if they are equal, comparing the hundreds, tens, and ones places sequentially.
Ascending and Descending Order
Arranging numbers from smallest to largest (ascending) or largest to smallest (descending).
