2.1 3.3 Representing Numbers Student Book pp. 40 43 Teacher s Resource pp. 12 16 GOAL Represent numbers to one million using a place value chart, numerals, and words. Preparation and Planning Masters Key Question 2 Assessment Question Checking and Practising BLM 2.1 pp. 38 39 Learning BLM 2.1 pp. 40 41 Place Value Chart to Hundred Thousands, MB p. 43 About the Math In this lesson, students extend their understanding of the place value system up to 1 million. They represent whole numbers up to 1 million using models, symbols, and words. Place value charts and counters are used to represent numbers and to develop and extend an understanding of the place value system. Place value charts, where it is the position of the counters on the chart that determines their values, are a transition step from base ten blocks, where placement is helpful to interpreting the number but does not affect the value. Differentiating Instruction Remind students that place value is simply a way of saying that the position of a digit tells us its value; for example, the 2 in 23 means 20, but the 2 in 42 means 2. Have students concentrate on patterns within the place value system to make its extension more meaningful; that is, we don t have digits greater than 9, so, as soon as we have 10 ones, we trade them for 1 ten in the place to the left of the ones. Similarly, 10 tens make 100, and 10 hundreds make 1000, so it is logical that 10 thousands is the next place value, and 10 ten thousands the next. Some students may need practice modelling numbers to 1000, using base ten blocks or a place value chart to 1000 and counters. You may want to review the words for numbers to 100, particularly the teens. For students who need scaffolding during independent practice, provide Checking and Practising BLM 2.1.

Preparation and Planning Masters Key Question 2 Assessment Question Checking and Practising BLM 2.2 pp. 43 44 Learning BLM 2.2 pp. 45 46 Place Value Chart to Hundred Thousands, MB p. 43 About the Math In this lesson, students write numbers to 1 million in standard and expanded form. They connect the representation of a number on a place value chart and in expanded form. Students also compare numbers using standard and expanded form. Note that kilometres are introduced in this lesson. Differentiating Instruction Students have learned that a number with more digits is greater than a number with fewer digits, up to 10 000. Explain that this also applies to greater whole numbers. Ensure that students understand that they should compare the highest place value first, as it has the greatest value. Demonstrate with examples the importance of lining up the digits correctly when comparing numbers; for example, have students compare 256 700 and 32 160. Students will also know that a number with more tens is greater than a number with fewer tens. Explain that the same is true when comparing numbers in the thousands. For example, to compare 267 000 km with 389 000 km, say, 3 hundred thousands 2 hundred thousands, so 389 000 267 000. Explain that if the value in the highest place is the same, they should compare the value to the right. Have students compare 321 600 and 256 700, then 256 700 and 239 100, and then 256 700 and 257 700. Help students connect the representation of a number on a place value chart and in expanded form. You may want to begin with 4-digit numbers and build to 6-digit numbers. As an intermediate step, you may want to have students place number cards (0 9) on a place value chart to represent the number. Provide practice by having students play this game in 2 teams. Place 2 shuffled sets of 0 9 number cards face down. On the chalkboard, draw 2 place value charts to the hundred thousands, 1 for each team. Teams take turns drawing the top card from their deck and placing the number on the place value chart. The object of the game is to make the greatest number, so students will need to be strategic about where they place each number. Once two 6-digit numbers are formed, have students compare the numbers to determine which is greater.

Preparation and Planning Masters Explore BLM-A 2.3 p. 48 Explore BLM-B 2.3 p. 49 Key Assessment Question Entire exploration About the Math In this exploration, students rename a 6-digit number using a variety of strategies of their choice, which may include writing the number in expanded form and/or using a place value chart. Some students may interpret the problem as simply asking them to relate the sizes of the containers to the place values, and will generate one solution to the problem. Others may realize that there are a large number of possible ways to fill the containers with the popcorn. Encourage each student to share his or her personal strategy. Litres are introduced in this lesson. Litres and capacity are worked with in greater depth in Lesson 8.8. Differentiating Instruction If students are having difficulty getting started, ask them what they would multiply the capacity of container Z by to get the capacity of container Y (10), and so on. Ask them what the pattern is. (multiply by 10 each time) Have them compare this pattern to the pattern in the place values. As students represent numbers, encourage them to model the numbers in a variety of ways; for example, as well as representing 43 as 4 tens and 3 ones, you can represent it as 3 tens and 12 ones or 43 ones. Help students extend this understanding; for example, 120 000 is 120 thousands as well as 1 hundred thousand and 2 ten thousands. If students focus on using the standard expansion of the number and do not consider alternate forms, ask them to model 321 using counters and a place value chart (or base ten blocks), and then write the number in expanded form. (3 hundreds 2 tens 1 one) Then, ask students to trade some of the blocks to rename 321. ( for example, 32 tens 1 one, or 3 hundreds 21 ones) Discuss why all the models represent 321.

2.4 3.3 Rounding Numbers Student Book pp. 50 52 Teacher s Resource pp. 29 32 GOAL Round numbers to the nearest hundred thousand, the nearest ten thousand, and the nearest thousand. Preparation and Planning Masters Key Question 3 Assessment Question Checking and Practising BLM 2.4 pp. 51 52 Learning BLM 2.4 pp. 53 54 About the Math In this lesson, students round numbers using place values and number lines. The context of the lesson is population, a context where benchmark numbers are often used. Number lines are particularly suitable for estimating numbers by relating them to benchmark numbers. Students use number lines marked at multiples of 100 000, 10 000, and 1000 to round numbers to the nearest hundred thousand, ten thousand, and thousand. Differentiating Instruction Ask students to create number lines that can be used to locate the positions of numbers to 10, then to 100, and then to 1000. Engage students in a conversation about how the benchmarks they used are similar in each case, so that they can extend those notions beyond 1000. Then ask students to create number lines that can be used to locate the positions of numbers to 10 000, to 100 000, and to 1 million. Ensure that students realize that the same benchmark number can be used to estimate different numbers. Discuss with students why, when a population is given, it is usually not an exact number. Speak deliberately about the difference between estimating and counting exactly; students require explicit exposure to situations where an estimate is all that is required. Other examples are animal populations, distances in astronomy, or large amounts of money. Encourage students to think of a number such as 422 536 as greater than 400 000 but less than 500 000. For those students who need it, provide practice rounding 4-digit numbers to the nearest hundred and thousand; for example, ask students to compare 3278 to 3000 and 4000, and then to 3200 and 3300. Ask them to explain how they know which of these numbers is greater or less than 3278. Check that they are using place values to compare numbers.

Preparation and Planning Masters Explore BLM-A 2.5 p. 56 Explore BLM-B 2.5 p. 57 Key Assessment Question Entire exploration About the Math In this exploration, students are asked to describe 1 million by comparing 1 million of one thing with a smaller number of something else. Students will draw on their understanding of the metric system to create interesting facts about 1 million. They will likely need to multiply by 1 million and/or divide 1 million by another number. A calculator can be used for such calculations. This exploration will be richer if students are able to use the Internet for research, but students can also use facts found in books and magazines. Differentiating Instruction After reading the book How Much Is a Million? by David M. Schwartz, provide students with a concrete representation of 1 million. Show 1 grain of salt and then 10 grains of salt. Make a tiny pile of salt and tell students that this is about 100 grains. Show a pinch of salt (about 1000 grains); 1 teaspoon (about 4 10 000 grains; 1 tablespoon (about 100 000 grains); and 1 cup (about 1 000 000 grains). 2 Ask students what they would name the place value to the left of the hundred thousands place (they might say a thousand thousands, which is an excellent response). Tell them that 1 million is 1000 thousands. Work through a couple of examples with students to demonstrate how to manipulate numbers to create facts involving 1 million. For example, a raisin is about 1 cm long, so 1 million raisins will be about 1 000 000 cm long. Then, students can convert this length into one that is easier for them to visualize. There are 100 cm in 1 m, so 1 million cm 1 000 000 100 10 000 m. (Have students count to check that there are six 0s after the 1 when they key 1 million into their calculators.) There are 1000 m in 1 km, so 10 000 m 10 000 1000 10 km. Suppose 10 km is the distance from the school to some landmark. Then, a row of 1 million raisins will stretch from the school to that landmark. Or, if a student lives about 1 km from the school, he or she could say that 1 million raisins would make a row stretching from home to school 10 times. Help students see that a number can have a continuous context, such as the distance between 2 places, or a discrete context, such as a number of raisins. Encourage students to research topics they are interested in. For students who need assistance in getting started on the exploration, provide Explore BLM-A 2.5. For students who need extra learning support, provide Explore BLM-B 2.5, which guides students to create a number of interesting facts about 1 million.

In this lesson, students use base ten blocks on a place value chart to model decimals to thousandths. They write decimals in standard form, expanded form, and words. They also attach a numeral to a model for decimal thousandths. Differentiating Instruction The understanding of decimals is dependent on a previous understanding of the concept of a fraction. Review with students how, in a fraction, the denominator tells the number of parts the whole is divided up into, and the numerator tells how many of those parts are under consideration. Discuss with students how the numerator and denominator of 1, 1, and 1 are represented in the base ten model. To show thousandths, a whole 10 100 1000 divided into 1000 equal parts is needed. The large cube fits this description. 1 small cube is 1 because it 1000 takes 1000 of these to make 1 whole (the large cube). Similarly, it takes 100 rods to make 1 large cube, so 1 rod is 1, and it takes 10 flats to make 1 large cube, so 1 flat is 1. 100 10 Model 393 thousandths on a place value chart and ask students to identify the value of each place. (The 3 flats are 3 tenths, the 9 rods are 9 hundredths, and the 3 small cubes are 3 thousandths.) Then, guide students to make the connection that the decimal 0.393 means 3 tenths, 9 hundredths, and 3 thousandths. Tell students that, in the model they are using, 10 large cubes would represent the whole number 10. Ask students to imagine 10 large cubes, and then 100 large cubes to help them understand just how small those values to the right of the decimal point actually are. Ask students how many small cubes you would use to represent 0.393. (3 flats is 300 small cubes, 9 rods is 90, and 3 more is 393.) Explain that when they read the decimal or write it in words, they should think of it in small cubes, so they would say 393 thousandths and write three hundred and ninety-three thousandths.

They make connections between decimals and fractions, and learn that there are numerous names for the same decimal number. A key concept is that the whole grid is 1 whole, just as the large base ten cube was 1 whole in the model used in Lesson 2.1. It follows that, if 2 grids of the same size are used to represent 2 decimals or fractions, and the same amount of the grid is coloured for each, the 2 numbers have the same value. Although they have the same value, they are different because they cannot always be modelled on the same grid. For example, you can model 0.4 but not 0.40 on a tenths grid. Students need a solid understanding of the relationships between the units on the grids to be able to efficiently use grids to represent numbers and to identify numbers represented on grids. Post a chart of these various relationships that students can refer to. Provide examples to help students better understand the concept Hundredths and Thousandths Grids of a placeholder; for instance, write 0.67 on the chalkboard and ask students to model 67 hundredths with counters on a decimal 1 tenth 1 0.1 10 place value chart. Then, write 0.670 on the board and ask students to model 1 column 10 hundredths 10 0.10 100 670 thousandths below the first model on the same chart.
