I really thought I knew everything there was to know about a million, billion and trillion until I came across a Numberphile video with new information! If you’re up for a challenge and making your brain stretch a little, then this math mini spark is for YOU!
Spark your math thinking!
Set up your math mini spark recording page: #60: Millions, Billions and Trillions
How Much is a Million by David M Schwartz is one of many picture books I have on my bookshelf. It’s a great book to help visualize what a million, billion, and trillion look like. Listen to this book .
A Million Dots by Andrew Clements is another one of my favorites. In the book, you will actually see ONE MILLION dots! Don’t believe me? You can count them yourself!
Watch this numberphile video How big is a Billion? Print a copy (or have your teacher print you a copy) of this worksheet. Follow the directions on the worksheet.
Share your math mini spark recording page with your teacher/EY coordinator.

Thanks Sophia! I hope you learned something new by watching the video. An additional question… What about a person who speaks English that lives in another country? Which way do they use?
A billion is 2 millions
Every one who speaks English uses this way.
