Million Dots

Last week our class read a book in math about One Million Dots. Each page had some dots on it and a fact about a specific number. The total number of dots in the book was one million, which helped us to see just how large a number one million really is.

For homework this week students are asked to make their own page for a "Million Dots" book we will make in class. They can choose any number they wish between on hundred thousand and one million. Then they should try to write the fact and illustrate it like in the picture below, which is taken from the book we read as an example for them to use. We will compile all the facts and illustrations into our own "Million Dots" book in the classroom that we can read whenever we wish!

Here is a sample picture:
