Third, fourth, and fifth students are adding on to the foundation of Number Sense they've built in prior grades. To have "Number Sense" in the intermediate grades, students should be able to:

- Know the number before or after (9,999 grade 3 and any number grades 4 and 5)
- Skip count by 2's, 5's, 10's, and 100's from any number to 9,999 (grade 3), any number in grades 4 and 5
- Know what number is 10, 20, or 30 more or less/100, 200, 300/1000, 2000, 3000/10,000, etc.)
- Count on or back from any number (9,999 grade 3 and any number grades 4 and 5)
- Decompose/break apart any number to 100 (grade 3) or 1000 in grade 4 and 5)
- Know/use benchmark and landmark numbers 1-1000 (grade 3), any number in grades 4 and 5)
