Thousands and Millions

CONCEPT:

What is the Thousands and Millions Concept?

Using a positional system, digits occupy places to name

number values. Some students struggle with multi-digit

numbers. Students end up reading digits rather than reading

the actual number because these large numbers do not have

meaning to the students.

Millions Thousands Ones

hundreds tens ones hundreds tens ones hundreds tens ones

135792468

The number is one hundred, thirty-fi ve million, seven hundred

ninety-two thousand, four hundred sixty-eight. Provide students

with meaningful experiences which include seeing, hearing,

and building numbers.
