The leading zeroes concept might be WAY too much detail for a nine-year old to realize. It might, however, be part of the lesson or a previous lesson. You need to ask about that.
Did your kid ever learn that 1 = 01 = 001? And actually absorb it? Like I say, it's a tough concept.
They learned it here at that age...

No kindergarten is doing that kind of math. 2nd and third grade are, but not kindergarten.
I was teaching my kids algebra well before kindergarten. If you give me one shell, I'll give you 2 peanuts. How many peanuts will I give you if you give me two shells?
