一起读了这本关于个十百千的绘本，然后再实操一下，竟然初步理解了进位加法，试着像书里一样操作4位数加法，很有成就感😀

玩法一

有点难，玩了一轮弃了

In the story,the cans are bundled together in groups of 10s,100s,1000s.10 ones equal 10,10tens equal 100,and 10 hundreds equal 1000.

Let's make up different amounts of cans collected. Ryan now collects 5 bags of 100,6 bags of 10,and 3 single cans.You can write the number and keep track of how many cans were collected.

玩法二

I have 10 digits from zero to nine on 10 cards. Turn the cards over. Now you can choose 4 of them and then turn them face up. 

What's the biggest number you could make? 

What's the smallest number.

Let's discuss the place value of the numbers created. 

For example, you make the number 1295 ，this number has 1 thousand,2 hundreds,5 tens and 9 ones.

玩法三:Guess the number

玩了很多轮，一开始干想容易忘记，引导写在纸上好多了

Think of a 3-digit number三位数的数字 (All 3 digits should be different). Have the child guess the number, and then tell him or her which digits are correct but in the wrong place and which digits are correct and in the right place.

For example, if the number is 384, and the child guesses 412, you would say "the 4 is correct, but it is in the wrong place.

Continue guessing until the number is founded.
