Whole Numbers

Hi boys and girls!
Do you know how big is 1 million?
What is bigger than a million?
Let's watch the following video to find out!



Post-video discussion:
1) We started with 1 unit.
2) 10 times of 1 unit = 1 ten-unit block
3) 10 times of a ten-unit block = 1 hundred-unit block
4) 10 times of a hundred-unit block = 1 thousands-unit block
5) Continue with this trend of thinking until you reach 1 million.
6) Are you amazed at how huge a million is?
