Expanded Notation

The video tutorial introduces the concept of expanded notation, using a place value chart to break down numbers into thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones. It provides examples with different numbers, including a 5-digit number, and demonstrates how to convert numbers from standard and word notation to expanded notation. The tutorial includes word problems to reinforce the concept, such as calculating total ticket sales, determining the number of apple trees producing fruit, and checking weight limits for an amusement park ride.

Explain how the place value chart helps in understanding expanded notation.

If an apple orchard has 1268 trees and 43 produce no apples, how many trees produced apples? Write this in expanded notation.

What is the total weight of the kids in the Copter ride, and how would you write that in expanded notation?
