1. The digits 0 – 9 are like ‘MAGIC’

2.  Number positions to the left of the 1’s column are always 10 times larger. Example  Once you have 10 groups of 10s you have 100(one hundred).  Once you have 10 groups of 100 you have 1 000 (one thousand).  Once you have 10 groups of 1 000 you have 10 000 (ten thousand).  Watch the explanation:

3.  Draw this chart up into your books. 10 000s1 000s100s10s1s Ten Thousand ThousandsHundredsTensOnes TTThHTO

4.  If my house sold for $6 495.  That is six thousand four hundred and ninety-five dollars.  What would this look like on a place value chart? 10 000s1 000s100s10s1s Ten Thousand ThousandsHundredsTensOnes TTThHTO                                      10 000s1 000s100s10s1s Ten Thousand ThousandsHundredsTensOnes TTThHTO                                      6495

5.  It is your turn now to complete two place value numbers to demonstrate your understanding. Your task:  1. Write the number.  2. Represent it on the table.  3. Write it in a sentence.  4. Write the number in words. It will look something like this:

6.  1. My number is 7 324  2.  3. My family won the lottery last week and the winning prize was $7 324.  4. Seven thousand, three hundred and twenty- four. 10 000s1 000s100s10s1s Ten Thousand ThousandsHundredsTensOnes TTThHTO                         7324

7.  If you would like to challenge yourself why not try numbers in the Ten thousands or Hundred Thousands.  Your column will look like this instead. 1 000 000s100 000s10 000s1 000s100s10s1s MillionsHundred Thousands Ten Thousand ThousandsHundredsTensOnes MHTTTThHTO

8.  1. My number is 7 324  2.  3. My family won the lottery last week and the winning prize was $7 324.  4. Seven thousand, three hundred and twenty-four.
