Market bundles before millions
Learners see cartons and sacks before seeing the written six-digit number.
Draw seven place value columns from millions to ones.
Touch each bundle size and say what one bundle means.
Use real objects or counters before any written shortcut.
Place each bundle under the correct place value column.
Draw the model so each group, part, or place can be seen.
Write one digit per column and keep unused places as zero.
Write the equation only after the visual model is stable.
Starting with a rule before identifying what each object represents.
Ask the learner to point to the unit, group, or column in the picture.
Name the unit first, then rebuild the written statement from the model.
Copying digits or symbols without keeping place value or units attached.
Ask which place, unit, or event each number belongs to.
Write labels beside the numbers before simplifying the answer.
Build one six-digit number with labelled bundles, then hide the bundles and read the digits.
