Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Numbers can be read and written by identifying the number of millions, thousands and hundreds, tens and ones.
- Digits are grouped in threes to show the ones, thousands and millions.
- The groups of 3 digits are separated with a comma.
- We assume that the digit on the right hand side is the ones digit unless we have a decimal fraction.
Common misconception
Children who struggle reading/writing teen numbers may struggle to read or write larger numbers. Children may group in threes from the left, rather than the right.
Use a place value chart to support the reading of the numbers. Remember to identify the hundreds, tens and ones first, then group in threes to the right of those.
Keywords
Million - One million is composed of 1,000 thousands. One million is written as a one followed by six zeros.
Separator comma - A place value separator comma is used to partition longer numbers to aid in the efficient reading of numbers.
