Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, look at the number five hundred twenty-four
We can write the number out in word form
Or show it on a place value chart
Finally, expanded form breaks each place value apart
Five groups of one hundred is five hundred
And next, two groups of ten equal twenty
And then what is left
Four ones makes four
And the expanded form
Of five hundred twenty-four is five hundred plus twenty plus four
Now, check it out
We can say a number's name or write it out on a chart
We can take each place value, and then we can break it apart
When we want to define numbers written this way
We've learned the term expanded form, so that's what we say
Check out these base-ten blocks
Let's think about what we've got
We can say they are constructed
From a one, ten, and one hundred
When we stack ones 'til the tenth unit
A ten is made through it
And after lining up ten tens
One hundred comes into existence
And ten hundreds will forever
Make one thousand altogether
So now let's review them
Ten ones make a ten
Ten tens make a hundred, and then
Ten hundreds make one thousand
It's the base ten pattern that'll never end
Look at the number, nine hundred eighty-seven
Word form is how we write the words with a pencil or pen
We can show it on a place value chart
Or with expanded form, split each place value apart
Nine groups of one hundred is nine hundred, and next
Eight groups of ten equals eighty, and then what's left
Seven ones makes seven, and the expanded form is then
Nine hundred plus eighty plus seven
Now check it out
We can say a number's name or write it out on a chart
We can take each place value, and then we can break it apart
When we want to define numbers written this way
We've learned the term expanded form, so that's what we say
Check out these base-ten blocks
Let's think about what we've got
We can say they are constructed
From a one, ten, and one hundred
When we stack ones 'til the tenth unit
A ten is made through it
And after lining up ten tens
One hundred comes into existence
And ten hundreds will forever
Make one thousand altogether
So now let's review them
Ten ones make a ten
Ten tens make a hundred, and then
Ten hundreds make one thousand
It's the base ten pattern that'll never end
Place value
Place value
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, yeah
Place value, place value
One hundred forty-two
