Meet ten thousand
One more thousand than 9,000.
Add a thousand to 9,000 and you get 10,000. It is the smallest five-digit number.
↳ 9,000 + 1,000 = 10,000

✏️ Example
The whole idea, one bite at a time
Veda Bites are swipeable micro-lessons — each one teaches exactly one idea. Here's a taste from this kit; the app has the full deck.
The TTh place
A new column on the left.
↳ TTh comes left of Th.
Saying 10,458
Read it place by place.
One ten thousand, no thousands, four hundreds, five tens, eight ones. Say it as ten thousand four hundred fifty-eight.
↳ Start from the left.
Count the digits
The first check is the easiest.
A five-digit number beats every four-digit number. Count the places before you look at the digits.
↳ More places, bigger number.
Compare step by step
Same length? Go left to right.
↳ The first difference decides.
90,000 beats 89,999
Nine nines can still lose.
90,000 has 9 ten thousands. 89,999 has only 8. One extra ten thousand is worth more than all those nines.
↳ Look left, not long.

Ten Thousand and Beyond
Sanju and Mira read big numbers on a train journey. We build 10,000, meet the ten thousands place, read five-digit numbers and write them in expanded form.
- Ten thousands make one ten thousand, written 10,000. It is the smallest five-digit number.
- The new place to the left of thousands is TTh, the ten thousands place.
- A comma after the thousands place makes a long number easy to read.

Bigger, Smaller and Nearly There
Prices at a bike showroom teach us to compare and order five-digit numbers. Then a hungry rabbit shows how to find the nearest ten, hundred and thousand.
- A number with more digits is always the bigger number.
- When two numbers are the same length, compare them from the left.
- Increasing order means smallest first. Decreasing order is the same line reversed.

Numbers on the Move
A school trip for 900 children turns into a maths problem. We look at how far each vehicle goes in an hour and how many vehicles the trip needs.
- Speed tells us how far a traveller goes in one hour.
- At a steady speed, add the same distance for every extra hour.
- Share the number of travellers by the seats to find how many vehicles are needed.

A booking clerk writes 45,867 on the board with a comma in it. What is that comma doing?
Beginner
A It only marks where the thousands begin, to help reading
B It makes the number ten times larger than it was
C It shows that the number can be shared out quite evenly
D It stands in the place of a digit left out
Show answer & explanation
It only marks where the thousands begin, to help reading
A comma is a reading aid and nothing more. 45867 and 45,867 are the same number; the comma only shows where the thousands end, so the eye can take the digits in groups.
