2. How can we effectively compare large numbers?

3. Can you think of real-world situations where reading and comparing large numbers is important?

4. Why do we need to know how many elements are in various sets?

5. How can digital tools assist us in understanding and comparing numbers?

Development

Duration: (60 - 70 minutes)

The purpose of this segment is to allow students to apply their newfound knowledge of reading and comparing natural numbers below 100,000 in practical digital scenarios. Through engaging and interactive activities, students will collaborate, research, and utilize digital tools for problem-solving, thus reinforcing their learning.

Activity Suggestions

Activity Recommendations

Activity 1 - ๐Ÿ”ข Numeric Influencers Challenge

> Duration: (60 - 70 minutes)

- Goal: Cultivate the skills needed to compare numbers through an engaging, context-based activity using digital tools and social media language.

- Deskripsi Activity: Students will take on the role of digital influencers tasked with creating content to compare large numbers using real-world examples. They'll utilize social media to craft educational posts that elucidate the differences between numbers nearing 100,000.

- Instructions:

  • Organize the class into groups of up to 5 students.

  • Each group selects a topic involving large numbers (e.g., city populations, stats from social media, numerical data about nature).

  • Students use their phones to gather data related to their chosen topic.

  • With the data identified, groups must create posts for a social media platform (e.g., Instagram, Twitter, TikTok) employing digital tools like image and video editors.

  • Their posts should feature comparisons of the numbers along with clear explanations of the differences they discovered.

  • Groups share their creations with the class and respond to questions about the numbers they compared.

Activity 2 - ๐Ÿ† Numeric Gamification Competition

> Duration: (60 - 70 minutes)

- Goal: Enhance logical reasoning and the ability to compare numbers in a fun and interactive manner, utilizing gamification tools.

- Deskripsi Activity: Students will engage in a competitive gamified format, tackling challenges related to reading and comparing natural numbers under 100,000. Using online learning platforms, they'll work through levels and earn points for accurately comparing the numbers presented.

- Instructions:

  • Split the class into groups of up to 5 students.

  • Select an educational gamification platform (e.g., Kahoot, Quizizz) for creating quizzes and numeric challenges.

  • Prepare quizzes in advance with questions focusing on reading and comparing numbers below 100,000.

  • Launch the competition, allowing students to join through their phones or computers.

  • Groups discuss and resolve each question, comparing the provided numbers to pick the right answer.

  • Each correct answer earns points for the group; at the end of the session, the group with the most points is declared the winner.

Activity 3 - ๐Ÿงฉ Natural Numbers Puzzle

> Duration: (60 - 70 minutes)

- Goal: Foster the ability to read and compare numbers through digital tools, enhancing data visualization and interpretation skills.

- Deskripsi Activity: In this activity, students will create various sets of natural numbers and compare them. Using chart and spreadsheet software, groups will generate comparative tables and graphs to aid visualization and understanding of numerical differences.

- Instructions:

  • Divide the class into groups of up to 5 students.

  • Each group selects a dataset (e.g., tree heights, game scores, number of pages in books).

  • Using software like Excel or Google Sheets, students will create tables and comparative graphs for their chosen numbers.

  • The graphs should be informative and help illustrate the differences between the numbers.

  • Groups will present their tables and graphs to the class, explaining the differences observed and what they learned from this task.
