Set: Students examine pp. 34-35 and are asked the following questions:
-Name a large object. How large is it? Can you think of anything larger? Name a small object. How small is it? Can you think of anything smaller? How can you use numbers to describe what is large or small?
Groupings:

Encourage students to voice any questions they have about large and small numbers and list them under “I Wonder” in their journals

Sharing Objective/Purpose: During the next few weeks we will be learning about very large and very small numbers. We will learn how to compare and display numbers. We will interpret and write numbers in different forms and see how numbers relate.
Input: Provide students with flashcards of different salaries and have alist of how to spend imaginary salary-work in groups p. 40 and record answers on chart paper and then order who buys most to least.
Modeling: Provide an example from input
Check for Understanding: Ask students who is wealthier a millionaire or a billionaire? Do you have any idea of how much wealthier? Do you know hat a million of anything looks like? What about a billion of anything? Ask students how they could find a million of anything and use that to estimate a billion of something. Encourage creative suggestions.
