Expanded Form.

Expand- to make bigger. Only the size of the number changes not the value.

Form - another way to write the same number.

eg. 1234 is written in standard form.

1000 + 200 + 30 + 4 is written in expanded form.

9876.543 is standard form.

9000 + 800 + 70 + 6 + 0.5 + 0.04 + 0.003 is expanded form.

Expanded form is writing the true value of each digit.
