Fifth graders worked cooperatively to see how how close to one million they could reach with place value blocks. Then they calculated how far away they were: 962,666, or about 960,000. Then they had to figure out how many 40,000s would make 1,000,000. Lastly they had to figure out if they had an equal number of ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands, how many they'd need to reach their goal.
"What we did today made me think that one million is way bigger than I thought it would be. it is amazing that it can be that big."- Elie
"I think that 1,000,000 is much, much bigger than I previously thought." - Noam
Please know that while this is on Youtube, privacy settings were used, so only fifth grade parents of this class, and some JCDSRI faculty, can view this video.
I'm curious how they organized themselves.
