Problem solving using knowledge of the composition of powers of 10

Maths

 In this unit pupils will identify and place the position of 6-digit multiple of one thousand numbers on a marked, but unlabelled, number line. They will read scales by using their knowledge of the composition of 10000 and 100000.
