Cathy,
Totally agree that a place value review is a curriculum decision. However, WHAT place value to work within in grade 3 in particular is the question. It seems that the standards state working to 1,000 in grade 2 and then to 1,000,000 in grade 4 is a big jump. It is a good hint that students to work with add/sub to 1,000 but does not specifically state whether they need to know how to work with numbers beyond 1,000. Thanks for CarrieW for continuing this thread as well.
