Large Numbers Activity:
Students of Grade 4 enjoyed the Coin activity for the Chapter Large numbers.
Two students were called at a time and they were given few coins. The students were suppose to add the denomination of the coins they got and find out who got coins with greater denomination.
The teacher questioned the students which coins they would prefer to have – the ones with greater denomination or the smaller one. Students answered they would prefer the greater one.
The students were explained about how they came to know that it is greater than the other - by COMPARING.
Thus, the teacher continued with the topic of Comparison of Large numbers based on this simple example.
Students enjoyed the activity as it was related to their daily life and it boosted their thinking and reasoning abilities.
