Dear Family,

Making Sense of Large Numbers

With your child, look for large numbers in the newspaper, on packages, on signs, and around your home and neighborhood. Talk together and ask questions about the numbers. You might ask, “How much would the car cost if the salesperson offered a $2,500 discount?”

You might ask, “If 45,000 people went to the basketball game at Central Stadium last night, how many seats were empty?”
