Read numbers to at least 10,000

Summary: Start at the number 3 and progressively write the following on a whiteboard or view on the TV, allowing students to discover patterns.
3 - Three
23 - Twenty-three
423 - Four hundred twenty-three (you could already do this)
1,423 - One thousand four hundred twenty-three (1 and 423)
7,423 - Seven thousand four hundred twenty-three (7 and 423)
37,423 - Thirty-seven thousand four hundred twenty-three (37 and 423)

Summary: Watch the video. This video tells the story of how to read large numbers. �There is a story that is told of a few families that moved onto a street that will help students remember the different place value group/house/column in a place value chart, where commas are found and how to read larger numbers.�

Summary: Students write 6-digit (or greater) numbers in each square on their grid. Each grid must be a different number. The educator reads out a number and students cross it out if they have it. The educator must keep a list of the numbers called out to cross-check with the winner! The first student to complete their board is the winner. This game can be shortened by modifying it to the first to get three in a row wins. Have a visual place value chart to refer to.

Summary: Players roll their dice at the same time and race to make the biggest number. Encourage students to group their dice in place value families (groups of 3). Go around the circle so that all players read their number aloud. The person with the highest number receives 1 point. First player to 5 wins.�

Summary: Students write a number with 6-digits or more and then refer to the website to work out the place value house that this number belongs to eg. millions, billions or decillions. Focus on counting the number of digits and the repeated patterns for each house (hundreds, tens and ones)

Summary: The teacher will separate the board into T / H / T/ O. On a sticky note the teacher will write a number between 0-10,000. Students will put their hand up and ask you a number e.g. 7 thousand 8 hundred  and 90. The teacher will write the number in the correct place value column. The teacher will then tick any number that is in the correct spot. Put an x next to any number that isn’t on the sticky note and put a o next to any number that is in the number but not in the right spot. Students will then know which numbers are in the correct spot, where they need to swap a number or what number not to use again. Teachers can even write number 1-9 next to the place value chart and cross them out as they eliminate them. 

Summary: Teacher writes a place value chart at the top of the whiteboard  Th | H  | T | 0. Teacher chooses a 4 digit number and writes it down on a sticky note. Students read numbers out to the teacher, and the teacher uses a tick if it’s in the correct column, a dot if it’s the correct number in the wrong column and a cross if it’s in the wrong column and a wrong number.
