How Much is a Million

 4th grade kicked off their Place Value unit this week by posing the question,  "How Much Is A Million?"  There were chairs representing each place with each one showing 10 times larger.  Ending with Mrs. Peery's chair which represented a million.  She then read the book, "How Much Is a Million?" to the students.
Then the students were given a challenge to color one million tiny squares on graph paper.  Wednesday afternoon the students gathered together to see if they had one million and to get a great visual for how much a million really is!!
