Lesson 7

Workshop: Large Numbers

Est. Class Sessions: 1–2
X

Mathematical Standards

4.NBT.A
Generalize place value understanding for multi-digit whole numbers. (4.NBT.A.2, 4.NBT.A.3)

Standards for Mathematical Practice

MP1.
Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
MP3.
Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
MP6.
Attend to precision.

In this Workshop, students use population data and data on the seating capacity of large sports stadiums to practice concepts and skills addressed in the previous lessons. Using a menu, students choose problems to solve based on their current abilities. Students play Draw, Place, and Read from Lesson 4 for more practice.

Content in this Lesson

  • Reading and writing large numbers to the millions [E1].
  • Comparing and ordering large numbers to the millions [E2].
  • Representing and ordering large numbers to the millions using place value charts, number lines, and number sentences [E3].
  • Representing large numbers using number sentences for expanded form [E3].
  • Rounding quantities to benchmark numbers [E6].
  • Estimating sums and differences for large numbers [E9].
  • Finding the value of unknowns to make number sentences true.

Materials Preparation

Find Large Numbers for Local Contexts. Gather information from local resources about population and seating capacity of local locations. See Before the Lesson.

Digit Cards. If students do not have a set of Digit Cards 0–9 from Lesson 4, prepare sets using the Master. Students should save each set of cards in an envelope for future use.

Prepare Feedback. Provide students feedback on assessment tasks from previous lessons. The Big Number Quiz from Lesson 6 should be particularly helpful since many of the expectations in this unit were assessed. Students will use this feedback to self-assess and choose targeted practice in this lesson.
