Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. We use commas to separate the thousands from the ones and the millions from the thousands.
  2. Grouping the digits in threes helps to read and write numbers.
  3. Other number systems use different symbols.
  4. Roman numerals have a system of rules which use different place value structures.

Common misconception

Pupils forget the use of zero as a place holder when there are for example, 0 ten thousands in a number, e.g. 503,000

Encourage children to transfer the represented number into a place value chart prior to reading the number. However, it is important for pupils to be able to read numbers without a place value chart so ensure time is taken to reduce the scaffold too.

Keywords

  • Comma - A comma is a punctuation mark used to indicate a break in a sentence. It looks like this ,

  • Represent - To represent something is to show something in a different way.

  • Numeral - A numeral is a symbol or name that stands for a number.

Take time to practise converting between representations of numbers using place value counters, Gattegno charts and their more abstract representations in words and numerals.
