Kavi Counts a Million Leaves 🍂

The Great Oak dropped 1,000,000 leaves this autumn! "A huge number is just many places in a row," Kavi hoots. "Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten-thousands, hundred-thousands, millions — each digit has its own place, and its place decides its value. Once I know the places, I can read it, write it, and say which of two big numbers is bigger ⚡."

What your child will learn

1A digit's place decides its valueThe same digit is worth different amounts in different places. Build 627: the 6 is 6 hundreds = 600, the 2 is 2 tens = 20, the 7 is 7 ones = 7. Tap + and − on each place and watch how the value changes.

3Order big numbers on the lineEvery whole number has a spot on the line. The signposts up to 1,000,000 are the hundred-thousands: 0, 100,000, 200,000, 300,000… Tap Hop +100000 to travel signpost to signpost and watch the numbers grow.
