Module 1: Place Value to 1,000,000

This year we have been learning about place value of larger numbers and practicing place value to one million.

Students should be able to represent numbers in many ways. Here are some terms we have used:

• EX: 123,456
• Written "word" form:  spell the number word "one hundred twenty-three thousand, four hundred fifty-six".
• Expanded form: 100,000 + 20,000 + 3,000 + 400 + 50 + 6
• Unit form: 123,456 ones OR 12,345 tens and 6 ones OR 123 thousands and 456 ones, etc.
• Place value form: 1 hundred thousands, 2 ten thousands, 3 thousands, 4 hundreds 5 tens, 6 ones

We have also been working on rounding.  Students should be able to compare and round numbers through 1,000,000.  Here are printable games to play at home to reinforce this skill as well as other games to practice:

Ice, Ice Maybe  

Understanding place value will allow students to build upon this understanding as we add, subtract, multiply and divide later in the year.  Please be sure to talk with your student about these skills at home.  We will have our unit test towards the end of the month.  Thank you for your support of our learning.Games below:
