This math unit is focusing on place value and we are reading really BIG numbers. Here is a song from Rockin' the Standards we have used to remember the place value spots.
One group used data from the populations of the Northeast states to organize large numbers. They also looked at the Population Clock.
Cool Cats Math has a tool you can use to practice reading big numbers. What comes after a trillion?
We also used this site to see what large numbers look like. Do you know how much a billion pennies weighs?
Practice reading, writing, and saying BIG numbers at home. Where do you see big numbers? Look for them in the newspaper, magazines, and watch for them in TV. Wouldn't it be fabulous to find them in your bank account too :)
