This purposeful unit for place value includes 6 lessons, and embeds real life scenarios throughout:

Lesson 1 - focuses on the value of numbers up to 10 million and the role that each digit plays, including place holders.

Lesson 2 - teaches students to read, write and order numbers up to 10 million and explores the role that each digit plays, including place holders.

Lesson 3 - investigates the place value digit shifts when multiplying or dividing by 10, 100, 1000 and explore these powers of 10 (exponents of 10).

Lesson 4 - identifies how to compare integers on a number line, up to 10,000,000.

Lesson 5 - explores the how and why of rounding any integer to exponents of 10 (10, 100, 1,000, 10,000, 100,000 or 1,000,000)

Lesson 6 - focuses on how to calculate past zero with negative numbers, using zero as a benchmark

Knowledge:

• I know that place value positions to the left of a digit increase exponentially by a power of 10.

• I know that rounding is a mathematical efficiency tool used to make extremely large numbers manageable and functional.

• I know that negative numbers represent real-world values below zero and follow the same structural rules as positive integers.

Skills:

• I can read, write, compare, and order integers up to 10,000,000.

• I can position large integers on a number line by determining midpoints and scale intervals.

• I can round any multi-digit whole number up to 10,000,000 to the nearest 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000, 100,000, or 1,000,000.

• I can calculate intervals and distances across zero when working with positive and negative values.
