Common mistakes
What learners typically get wrong, and how to fix it.
Gives the digit instead of its value (says 3 instead of 300).
Correction: Ask: how many hundreds is that? Then write it as a full number.
Forgets zero as a placeholder (writes 4,050 as 45).
Correction: Use a place-value chart and fill every empty column with 0.
Teacher tips
- · Build numbers with base-ten blocks before writing them.
Parent tips
- · Read big numbers on receipts and ask what each digit is worth.
Real-life applications
- · Reading prices, house numbers and big numbers in the news.
