In mathematics, “expanded form” typically refers to a way of writing a number in which the value of each digit is shown separately. For example, the number 356 in expanded form would be written as 300 + 50 + 6.
In education, the term “expanded form” can refer to different things in different grades. In Class 5, the term “expanded form” can refer to different aspects of mathematics such as,
- Writing numbers in expanded form by breaking them into place value parts, for example 356 = 3 x 100 + 5 x 10 + 6 x 1
- Expanding an algebraic expression such as (x+y)^2 = x^2 + 2xy + y^2
- Expanding a shape by adding more sides to it.
It’s important to note that the concept of expanded form may vary depending on the curriculum and the context it’s being used in. If you are unsure of what your teacher is referring to, you should ask for clarification.
