Place Value

We've been working on Place Value in Math to start the year. The Smart Board has been an excellent helper and motivational tool for this. Remember, in Gr. 4, students need to recognize numbers in the thousands. The knowledge is greater in Gr. 5, where students need to recognize numbers in the hundred thousands and millions. Having discussions with kids about numbers is a great idea. At this age, have them say numbers of expensive items or populations. Having conversations about math greatly enhances children's understanding of concepts. PLACE VALUE is probably the most important concept for young children to understand.
