We started on the topic of comparing numbers up to a million. Recapping some important concepts for today's lesson:
- When comparing numbers, always start from the left.
- Compare the numbers to find out which is greater or smaller.
- Highlight the two comparing digits on the left of each number.
- 1458
- 1548
- The first digit on the left is the same so we move on to the next digit (place value) and since 5 is greater than 4, 1548 is the greater number.
Some of the common mistakes as highlighted in the last worksheet:
- When we are looking for 'the value of' and finding what a number 'stands for', it is essentially the same meaning. We are finding out the numeral. Do take note. They stand for the same meaning.
- 40 in words is forty and not written as 'four tens'. Take note too.
Homework for today:
Pages 11 - 14 of the workbook.
Practice makes perfect.
Sincerely,
Mr Nelson Ong
