STRAND 1: NUMBER

SUB-STRAND 1: Counting, Representation and Cardinality
CONTENT STANDARD 1: Demonstrate an understanding of quantities and place value for multi-digit whole numerals up to 100 000.
INDICATORS AND EXEMPLARS 1: Model Number quantities, place value for multi-digit using graph sheets or multi-base materials up to 100 000.

EXAMPLE 3
E.g. 3 Give learners teacher-made token currency notes [¢1, ¢10 & ¢100 notes] on different coloured-paper and ask them to model or pick given amounts up to ¢10,000; e.g. ¢2,480

Using the token currency notes below as a guide, model amounts of money up to
¢10 000

Example: Model GH¢4265
Expand to find the value of each digit
4265 =
GH¢ 4000 + GH¢ 200 + GH¢ 60 + GH ¢5
= 4 x 1000 + 2 x 100 + 6 x 10 + 5 x 1
This means the amount is shown as 4 blue tokens, 2 green tokens, 6 yellow tokens and 5 red tokens.

Which amount is shown on the token currency notes?
