Canadian Cities: Place Value to Millions Activity
About This Product
With this Canadian Cities: Place Value to Millions Activity your upper elementary or intermediate students will be able to apply their place value knowledge (to the millions position).
Students will
find the populations of 11 Canadian cities (Charlottetown, Halifax, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg, Regina, Calgary, Vancouver, Whitehorse, and Yellowknife)
round each one to the nearest ten thousand
work with the numbers: ordering, comparing, identifying specific place value spots, and writing in expanded form
This Canadian Cities: Place Value to Millions Activity includes
a population chart for 11 Canadian cities
a worksheet with 8 questions
an extension sheet with 4 challenges
an answer key to easily mark the assignment out of 40
Grades to Use With:
This lesson is designed for students in grades 4-6 who are learning or reviewing place value concepts (it can be used by Canadian students, of course, but also by students in other countries too!). It could be a great beginning of the year activity as you ease into your math curriculum. It could also be used in high school special education classrooms.
How to Use:
This activity could be used as an in-class assessment during a place value unit. There is an answer key to easily mark the first two pages out of 40. There are also four extension challenges for early finishers. You can let students work on those independently or in small groups.
If you enjoy this math application activity, check out others in my store. I am always striving to show students how the math they learn in class is helpful in real life!
