LESSON 2 Explore Big Numbers with Base‑Ten Hoppers

After the fifth-grade students finished reading and writing big numbers, the teacher invited Professor Peabody to class.

Study the base-ten hopper's moves on the two number lines below.

1. What distances can the base-ten hopper move in one hop?
2. In what directions can the base-ten hopper move?
