Students read the number and partition the number on whiteboards or in workbooks.
Students use physically active movements to show the value of each digit in the number:
Thousands - push ups
Hundreds - star jumps
Tens - squats
Ones - High knees
If the number was 1234, students would complete 1 push ups, 2 star jumps, 3 squats and 4 high knees.
