Today we enjoyed the story One Million Dots by Andrew Clements. It is a great book which helps children understand just how HUGE one million is! Our class colored 40 grids with 300 centimeter squares on each. We then calculated that all together we would have a big banner with a total of 12,000 centimeter squares! It was a great visual for the class.

We learned: 20 x 300= 6,000 and that 6,000 x 2= 12,000!
