Partition flexibly using an exchange

Learn flexible partitioning with an animated place-value counter exchange. See how one ten-thousand becomes ten thousands without changing the whole. 53,620 = 40,000 + 13,000 + 600 + 20. The animation explains why thirteen thousands is a valid part of the same number.
