Activity 1 is an engaging and dynamic way for children to learn about six-digit numbers. Each child is provided with a card displaying a number, either in numeral or word format, which they are instructed to keep private, unless they require adult assistance. The activity takes place in a spacious area, such as a hall or playground, where the children are asked to position themselves according to specific criteria related to the digits in their numbers. For example, they may be asked to stand to one side if their hundred thousand digit is greater than five. After moving according to the instructions, children form small groups to verify each other's numbers and placements. This exercise not only helps children understand the value of each digit but also encourages peer review and verbal justification of their reasoning.

Activity 2 and 3 both involve hands-on learning using various counting equipment such as straws, Base 10 blocks, counters, and place value counters. Children are tasked with representing a given five or six-digit number using the equipment, and then finding alternative ways to represent the same number, fostering a deeper understanding of number composition and place value. These activities can be done individually or in pairs, with partners checking each other's work for accuracy. Whiteboards and pens are used for children to write the numbers in numerals or words, reinforcing their ability to read and write large numbers up to at least 1,000,000.

Activity 4 introduces a tactile element to learning, with one child selecting a number card and discreetly writing the number on the back of their partner, who then has to guess the number. This kinesthetic approach not only makes the learning process fun but also helps solidify the child's ability to understand and communicate large numbers. The activities are designed with clear objectives to ensure that children can confidently read and write numbers up to at least 1,000,000, a crucial skill in their mathematical development.
