Numbers can be represented in three forms.

1. Standard Form

The standard form is the most common way we represent a number. When you see numbers on a page, a street address, or a calendar, it is called, standard form.

2. Word Form

Sometimes you will see the numbers spelled out: Sixty-three students were on the bus.

3,456 in word form is three thousand, four hundred fifty-six.

If there is a 0 in a place such as 3,076, you just leave it out: Three thousand, seventy-six.

3. Expanded Form

This is the number with the value of each digit with a plus sign between each value.

So, 3,056 would be 3,000 + 50 + 6
