Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Numbers can be represented using place value counters or a Gattegno chart
- A zero in a number shows that there is no digit value in that column - this is called a placeholder.
- When we read numbers, we group the digits into threes from the right.
Common misconception
Children may incorrectly write numbers by not using a placeholder zero.
Use place value counters or a Gattegno chart to represent the number. Are there digits for each place? If not, we need to use a placeholder zero.
Keywords
Million - One million is composed of 1,000 thousands. One million is written as a one followed by six zeros.
Placeholder - A placeholder is where we use the digit zero to hold a place in a number and maintain place value. Placeholders are used so that we can write numerals properly.
