Number Concepts to 1,000,000

Numbers to one million extend place value to six digits. 347,852 means 3 hundred-thousands, 4 ten-thousands, 7 thousands, 8 hundreds, 5 tens, and 2 ones. Large numbers appear in real-world contexts: populations, distances, financial figures. The Tsimshian people of BC use three distinct counting systems (for animals, people and things) and the Tlingit name numbers using body-based logic (10 = two hands). These systems reveal that quantification is a universal human activity expressed through diverse mathematical frameworks.
