Place Value and Receipts

As it's the Half Term break, my family and I took in a spot of lunch out earlier today. We were in a well known pub chain that have an app that allows orders to be made from the table...
 


A receipt we received, contained various numbers. All the numbers need to be read in Key Stage Two. Grab a load of receipts. Can the children in Year Four/Five read all the numbers on them?

Large Numbers

In maths, we're required to order, round, calculate and so on with numbers up to millions. Where can we find such numbers?


House prices
Wages
Sporting event attendances
Phone numbers
Social media follower numbers
Car mileage
Geographic values (mountain heights, distances, water depth)

[In coming days/weeks, we'll update above with some examples...]

Got any other ideas?
