Teaching Notes:

• Students who do not have English as their first language might need extra help learning the number period
vocabulary such as ones, thousands, millions, billions, etc. Refer them to the Place-value Chart in the
R

textbook.
• Some students who do not have English as their first language are accustomed to using periods instead of
commas as above.
