Students will be able to write a seven-digit number in standard form, word form, and expanded form.
The adjustment to the whole group lesson is a modification to differentiate for children who are English learners.

Introduction
(10 minutes)
Read a book aloud that introduces the concept of a million, like one of these:
How Big Is a Million? by Anna Milbourne
How Much Is a Million? by David Schwartz
A Million Dots by Andrew Clements
Tell students that today we are going to talk about place value and numbers in the millions.
Beginning
Allow students to use their home language (L1) or new language (L2) in their peer discussions about the book you read aloud.
Write down key terms from the book in a picture walk after the reading (e.g., "millions," "thousands," "place value," "hundreds," "hundred thousands," etc.).
Intermediate
Ask students to turn and summarize to their partner what the book was about.
Write the academic language they can use throughout the lesson on the board as you introduce the language.
Ask them to define "millions" and "place value," or tag a partner for help so they can define it together.
