Counting up to ten thousands with tokens and a chart
Lesson
Students meeting the ten-thousands column for the first time often read 13,045 as 'one hundred and thirty thousand forty-five' — the token-merging demonstration directly counters this by making the column boundary visible. A common error in the sequence task is finding the wrong step size for sequences that alternate steps (e.g. +1,001); ask students to verify by computing the difference between the first two terms before continuing.
0–10Distribute token cut-outs (ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, and ten-thousands). Display a blank place-value chart on the board. Invite volunteers to place tokens representing 9,999 and ask what happens when one more is added — guide the class to merge ten 1,000-tokens into a single 10,000-token and name the new column TTh (ten-thousands). Have students read several 5-digit numbers placed on the chart aloud, discussing how the column position changes the value of each digit.
10–25Write a range of 5-digit numbers on the board (e.g. 13,045; 50,302; 99,999). Students copy each number into their own place-value chart, filling one digit per column. Pairs read the numbers aloud using the Indian system number names, writing the name below each numeral. Choose a few for whole-class checking, explicitly correcting any confusion between the hundreds and thousands columns.
25–40Introduce Let Us Do Q1, p.5 ("fill in the blanks by continuing the pattern in each sequence...."). Students work individually on parts (a)–(i), identifying the step size before filling each blank. Close with a quick class discussion: which sequences jump by equal steps, and which do not — reinforcing that reading the number correctly is the first move.
Let Us Do Q1, p.5 — Fill in the blanks by continuing the pattern in each of the following sequences (a)–(i); discuss the patterns in class.
Look at the number sequence below and write the next three numbers. Explain the rule you used.
14,003; 15,004; 16,005. The rule is add 1,001 each time.
