- Identify the place value of each digit in a multi-digit number.
- Express numbers using words and numerals.
- Round numbers to various places.
- Decompose numbers into different groups and amounts.
- Count and represent the value of a collection of nickels, dimes, and quarters.
- Count and represent the value of a collection of loonies, toonies, and bills as dollars.
- Accurately use the <, >, and = symbols.
Here are some activities you can do at home to support this learning:
- Use play money to model numbers and to develop understanding of trading or grouping. For example, show that $342 can be modelled as $300 + $40 + $2. Using play bills for $1, $10, and $100 helps to reinforce place value.
- Play a number comparison game:
Remove the tens and face cards from a deck of regular playing cards. Deal 3 cards to each player.
Each player uses the cards to make the greatest possible 3-digit number. The person with the greater number gets a point. Repeat those steps. The first player to get 10 points is the winner.
Play the game again, this time making the least number possible.
