Building Big Numbers
🎯 What we're learning today
We are learning to read, say and build four-digit numbers using place value.
You'll know you've got it when:
- I can build a four-digit number with materials or drawings
- I can say a four-digit number correctly (like 'three thousand, four hundred and twenty-six')
- I can tell you what each digit in a four-digit number is worth
The 10,000 Steps Challenge
Connects to what your child already knows and makes them curious. Activating prior knowledge is one of the strongest predictors of new learning.
Yesterday, a fitness watch counted 9,847 steps. Is that close to 10,000? How would you even know? Today you'll crack the code that makes big numbers easy to read — and you'll see that you already know most of it.
