At HIA, the "Bank Cheque" activity was designed to help fifth-grade students understand the importance of writing numbers in different forms in real-life situations and to connect this skill to everyday scenarios. Each student was given a blank cheque template and practiced writing different amounts first in standard form and then in word form.
The activity focused on ensuring that their writing was clear and accurate, particularly for large numbers. This activity not only strengthens their math skills but also teaches them a useful life skill they might need in the future.
