Access Point #: MAFS.2.NBT.1.AP.3eArchived Access Point

Explain what the zero represented in place value (hundreds, tens, ones) in a number.
Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Identify the zero in a given number.
  • Given a number in a place value chart, use base ten blocks to model the hundreds, tens, and ones beneath each column to show that the digit ‘0’ has no value (Ex: Given the number 304, place three flats underneath the ‘3’, zero rods underneath ‘0’, and four unit blocks underneath the ‘4’).
Representation:
  • Given a number in a place value chart, use visual representations of base ten blocks to model the hundreds, tens, and ones beneath each column to show that the digit ‘0’ has no value (Ex: Given the number 304, place visual representations of three flats underneath the ‘3’, zero rods underneath ‘0’, and four unit blocks underneath the ‘4’).
  • Understand and explain that a ‘0’ in a place value has no value in that number.
  • Understand the following concepts, symbols, and vocabulary of place value, tens, ones, hundreds, zero.

Cluster: Understand place value. (Major Cluster)

Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.
