Place Value
So far, our children have been working on place value to numbers in the millions!
We have learnt how important is it to have our place holders and to make sure we are not disappointed when we think we might be getting more than what has actually been given to us! 1,067,009 is very different to 1,679!!!
We have also been working on the use of commas to support us how to write these numbers in words. 'Count Miss McMahon's favourite number! 3! Then put in a comma. 3 again and another comma.'
2,345,232 = two million, three hundred and forty-five thousand, two hundred and thirty-two.
