The big idea

The places run in groups of three — ones, thousands, millions, billions — and each comma marks the end of a group.

1Today — WARM-UPPoint at the five parts. Name where we are.
2Which is greater, 84,060 or 84,600?Boards up on three. This is yesterday's work — Grade 4 — comparing large numbers. Do not help each other; I need to see what each of you kept.
384,600 answer — own slideShow me. Everyone at once. Check your own board against this.
4Today — I DOWe are at I DO. Boards down and flat.

11What is the value of the 6 in 6,204,000,000?Now the same thing on a new one. Watch — nothing on your boards.
12Groups from the right: ones, thousands, millions, billions.
The 6 is in the billions place.
6,000,000,000 answer — own slide		I say every step aloud as I write it. The board keeps all of it.

21Today — CLOSURELast part. Answers up.
22“Which GROUP is this digit in — and which place inside that group?”This is the question to ask yourself every time, not just today.

Mini whiteboards, by segment

SegmentMWBTimeBoardsWhat to hold
WARM-UPretrieval3-5 minBOARDS UPQuestion up, boards up on the count. Everyone shows at once — a child who waits to see a neighbour's board has not retrieved anything.
I DOnone — they watch3-4 minboards downBoards DOWN and flat. This segment is watching, and a child writing is not watching. Say so once at the start of the year and then hold it.
WE DOprimary use5-6 minBOARDS UPOne step, then boards up. Do not let them run ahead to the answer — the point is that everybody is on the same step at the same time.

CLOSUREanswers displayed2-3 minboards downAnswers on the board, children check their own. Mark nothing here.
Watch for
Two questions, in that order. A child who tries to name the place directly on a ten-digit number will miscount. Group first, place second, every time.
