=Math Big Ideas=
 * The entire Number System is made up of the digits 1-9 and 0.
 * For every place value we can count the amounts in the same way we count ones.
 * As the same digits move to the left in place value, the value is multiplied by 10, and as they move to right, the value is divided by 10. The value of the digit increases/decreases by 10 as it moves to the left/right.
 * It is critical to learn the language of mathematics and understand that there are different ways to express the same thing and how these connect.
 * Large numbers are understood by relating them to real world examples, especially those they can relate to.
 * There are 4 operations that are all related to each other.
 * Equality and inequality are basic concepts when investigating number. They are represented by the symbols: =, >, <.
