Place value in 6-digit numbers - Teaching Presentation - Year 5

This presentation provides three days of teaching that cover the objectives:

• Add and subtract 1, 10, 100, 1000, 10,000 and 100,000 to/from 6-digit numbers.
• Place 6-digit numbers on landmarked lines and empty lines.
• Round 6-digit numbers to the nearest 1000, 10,000, and 100,000.

It includes starter activities, whole class teaching, group activities, practice sheets and mastery questions. It can be used on a variety of interactive whiteboards.

Day 1 Teaching
Write 457,849. In pairs, one child writes the number 1 less, and the other child writes the number 1 more. Repeat with 10 more/less, 100 more/less, 1000 more/less, 10,000 more/less and 100,000 more/less. Then repeat with 230,193 then 352,605.

Day 2 Teaching
Show a 0 to 1,000,000 line marked in multiples of 100,000. Choose numbers to mark so that children have to identify and label. Then ask one child to mark a number. The rest of the class guess it, asking careful questions. Children repeat with a partner to place numbers on a 100,000 to 200,000 line. Repeat for groups of numbers, using a number line bounded by appropriate adjacent multiples of 100,000.

Day 3 Teaching
Sketch a line from 200,000 to 300,000. Mark a number, then ‘zoom in’ and draw a line to show that number between two multiples of 10,000. Repeat for two multiples of 1000. Round to nearest 100,000, 10,000 and 1000. Repeat with a new child and a line between 500,000 and 600,000. Then play ‘100k Bingo.’

This teaching is part of Hamilton’s Year 5 Place Value block. Each Hamilton maths block contains a complete set of planning and resources to teach a term’s worth of objectives for one of the National Curriculum for England’s maths areas.
