#placevalue #mathsongs #millionsBillions • A fun song I wrote for my elementary math students to teach place value to the millions and billions. (lyrics below) • LYRICS: • We’ve got the millions, • Then we’ve got the billions • We’ve got the millions, • Then we’ve got the billions • I left for the store, • I’m buying some gum, • I didn’t want a hundred, or a thousand, or one! • I wanted a lot, yeah, that’s what I said, • Big pile gum, towering over my head! • I didn’t want trillions, • And I didn’t want billions; • That’s really too much, • Just give me a million… • I asked for a million, • The honest, sweet truth, • 7 digits of gum, • Satisfied my sweet tooth! • I’m chewing the green gum, • I’m chewing a lot, • I’m the king of all gum • I’m a big gum, big shot, • A million a million, • Sweet pieces of gum, • I’m willing to share it, • If you wanna’ have some! • We’ve got the millions, • Then we’ve got the billions • We’ve got the millions, • Then we’ve got the billions • Ones thousands, what comes next? • Millions, billions, that’s correct! • Ones thousands, what comes next? • Millions, billions, that’s correct! • TEACHING BREAK • Let’s try reading some numbers in the billions, • Don’t forget to say billion for the first comma, • Million when you see the second comma, • And thousand for the 3rd comma! • 4, 885, 678, 899 • 5, 515, 273, 874 • 1,001, 001, 008 • We’ve got the millions, • Then we’ve got the billions • We’ve got the millions, • Then we’ve got the billions • I flew in a rocket, • I flew really high, • I flew in the sky, • Like an astronaut guy, • I looked at our Earth, • At the Earth we all share, • And I saw lots of people, • All living down there, • It wasn’t the hundreds, • Or thousands or millions, • The number of humans, • Went up to the billions… • Billions of people, • That’s really a lot, • All sharing our planet, • The one we’ve all got! • Not ones, • Not hundreds, • Not thousands • Not millions, • Sharing with people into the billions! • Ones thousands, what comes next? • Millions, billions, that’s correct! • Ones thousands, what comes next? • Millions, billions, that’s correct! • We’ve got the millions, • Then we’ve got the billions • We’ve got the millions, • Then we’ve got the billions
