If you don’t have enough blocks, describe what you would need to build the number.
Your teacher will give you 1 more digit card. Use the last card from your teacher to make a five-digit number. Make the card the first digit. Name the number and build it.
If you don’t have enough blocks, describe what blocks you would need to build the number.
