Students should use their knowledge of manipulatives to understand what numbers are being represented and to determine which of those numbers are either greater, less than or equal to another number. Using double-sided counters is a new lesson that shows clearly the four operations with directed numbers. Includes questions from VariationTheory.com. Use MathsBot manipulatives to support teaching and student tasks. By Year 6 place value, pupils should have developed a thorough understanding of place value and so understanding numbers to 10,000,000 should prove little challenge.

Time spent developing students’ understanding that 10 ones counters can be exchanged for 1 tens counter etc. must be prioritised before any additional work with counters can continue. A typical reasoning or problem-solving activity for place value in Year 4 would have some degree of openness about it where multiple answers could be available. This is an important mathematical idea for students to realise as this will aid their understanding of more complex maths later on. Some teachers may remember teaching place value (or indeed being taught place value by their teachers) and the first position being referred to as a unit.

This is a good opportunity to introduce the additive inverse property to pupils. When you add a number to the same negative value e.g. 1 + (-1), you will always make zero, and this is known as a zero pair. As of 2014, the terminology of ‘ones’ has become far more commonplace to describe the place value assigned by the numbers 0-9. Numbers, digits and numerals: what’s the difference?

Understanding the relation to zero is paramount; pupils need to be aware that when using positive numbers the larger the number, the further away from zero it is. I would then show some negative counters. The progression from Year 4 to Year 5 place value sees many of the same objectives needing to be taught with ever-increasing numbers. This part will look at some strategies for Roman numeral teaching to ensure that they are remembered. Teaching Roman numerals Year 5 and 1 printed on both sides with equivalent fractions on reverse. Suitable for children ages 7-9 years. Roman numerals should be put in their historical context so pupils understand that there have been different ways to write whole numbers and that the important concepts of 0 and place value were introduced over a period of time.When the same digit is put in a different column on a place value grid, the value changes. E.g. in the number 4,532 the 4 digit is worth a 4 thousands, whereas in 3,20 4 the 4 digit has a value of 4 ones. Students can see that I now have -4 and can see that as I add more negative numbers the number gets further away from zero. Place value counters and grids, on the other hand, are less concrete in that there is no physical difference between the counters, so the conceptual understanding developed with dienes must lead into using them for understanding to be transferred. Place value counters on a place value chart Place value is usually the first thing topic taught in KS2 maths, whether you’re a Year 3 or a Year 6 teacher, because it’s such an important basis for understanding any other primary maths topic.

The activity shows the children sets of 10 counters, that are red and yellow. The children need to work out how many of each colour there are and draw them on the ten-frame. This will help them to see how 10 can be composed in different ways. Consistent use of language throughout the teaching of negative numbers is crucial. They should never be referred to as minus numbers. Minus is a synonym for subtraction and should not be used to describe numbers below zero; they should only be referred to as negative numbers. Should this prove too difficult still, then breaking each numeral down into its component part should be done first e.g. 100 + 100 + 100 + 50 + 10 + 1 + 1. This will depend on the pupils’ prior attainment. Use these Ready-to-go PowerPoints and worksheets to teach your Year 1 to Year 6 children place value following the White Rose scheme of learning.Once pupils understand this, questions such as -3 + 5 become far more accessible to all. They need to get the required counters.

Hopefully, this has given you a good idea of how to get started teaching place value to Key Stage 2 pupils once the autumn term starts. Place value is one of the most fundamental concepts in maths, so making sure your pupils have a solid grasp on it really is the best way of getting the maths year started off right!Pupils will need to learn that D represents 500 and M represents 1,000. Depending on the cohort, I would suggest that these are taught over two days should curriculum time allow. Once pupils are used to solving questions like the above in a whole-class setting, the work set should focus on having them try this individually. It is best to interleave between a question asking a pupil to show or draw dienes representing a number, and one using the dienes to work out what number they are representing. It is important that before students start working in base 10,000 they are also introduced to working with counters so they can easily transition between the two resources.
