Thousands Hundreds Tens Ones Using their Interactive Math Notebooks, the students will write about this action and draw a picture of it. Students will share their IMN entries with each other. Since this is the first time 2nd graders will be ask to draw a thousands block, the teacher may want to give students a quick tutorial: Have students draw 2 overlapping squares as such: Then draw lines to connect the corners.
