In mathematics, we are currently working in a short unit called "Numeration". Focuses are to represent numbers in various forms up to the millions place (7-digit numbers). Below is a basic 4-digit number example:

Standard Form: 2,345
Word Form: Two thousand, three hundred forty-five
Expanded Form: 2,000 + 300 + 40 +5

We are also rearranging digits to make numbers to fit rules:
Example:

digits: 6 5 0 1
Largest number you can make with these digits: 6,510
Second largest
number you can make with these digits: 6,501
Smallest number you can make with these digits: 0156
Third smallest number you can make with these digits: _______
