Math begins on Monday!
We have officially started math! To start off on the right foot, we started with a game. Now that the kids think I'm fun, we can get down to business. Soon enough, they'll realize how serious I am.
Unit 1 - Place Value
We will be studying numbers into the billions.
We will learn to read and write these large numbers in three ways:
standard form - 189,728,511
expanded form - 100,000,000
80,000,000
9,000,000
700,000
20,000
8,000
500
10
+ 1
word form - one hundred, eighty nine million, seven hundred twenty eight thousand, five hundred eleven.
As we get more comfortable, I shorten the word form to this -
1 H 89 M, 7 H 28 Th, 511 (it's less cumbersome, but you have to understand the long way before you can do the short way).
*Notice there is no AND in the word form. We haven't learned it yet, but soon your child will be able to tell you why there is no AND.
