The lesson sequence of the unit is as follows:
Lesson 1 and 2 - Place Value up to 100,000
Lesson 3 and 4 - Compare and order numbers up to 100,000
Lesson 5 and 6 - Round numbers to the nearest 10, 100 or 1000
Lesson 7 and 8 - Place Value up to 1,000,000
Lesson 9 and 10 - Compare and order numbers up to 1,000,000
Lesson 11 and 12 - Round numbers up to the nearest 100,000
Lesson 13 and 14 - Negative numbers
