Are your students learning about numbers? You can teach number flexibility by practicing a variety of strategies for reading, writing, and comparing numbers!
Here are some easy, practical ways to illustrate Number Sense and Place Value!
Here are our learning targets:
- I can read and write whole numbers up to 1,000,000 using numerals, words, and expanded notation. 4.NBT.2
- I can compare two numbers using symbols to show the comparison. 4.NBT.2
- I can use place value to round numbers up to 1,000,000 to any place. 4.NBT.
This is a great unit to use when introducing math journals (picts to come.) I began with a pre-assessment. Next, I used the anchor chart (above) to introduce the first learning target. We discussed standard form, word form, expanded form, and how to use a place value chart. We discussed the periods of numbers and practice reading numbers from left to right.
I laminated the charts (above) for student practice.
I noticed many spelling issues, when writing numbers. So, I created this class poster. I also make small version for math journals. We had a discussion about compound numbers twenty-one through ninety-nine (which I included on the math journal resource sheet). 
Here we are playing our first game: Reading and Writing Numbers. Students used numeral cards (their choice of the total number of cards, from 3-7). They created numbers, recorded, them in Standard Form, read them out loud, and wrote them out in words.
