Try it at home
- Practise reading and writing large numbers on flashcards, then arrange them in ascending or descending order.
- Use a thermometer to show and discuss negative numbers in real life.
- Round different numbers to the nearest 10, 100, or 1,000 using everyday examples like rounding prices.
