Lesson details
Key learning points
- The __ digit in the __ column represents __
- The value of the digit in the __ column is __
- Digits in numbers are grouped in threes to show the ones, thousands and millions.
Keywords
Million - One million is composed of one thousand thousands. 1,000 × 1,000 = 1,000,000 We write one million as a one followed by six zeros.
Value - The value of a particular digit is how much that digit is worth within the given number.
Common misconception
When using place value counters, children may misread a number if one of the digits is a zero and hence not represented with a counter.
Remember that the digits in numbers are organised into groups of three with ones, tens and hundreds in each group.
Use place value counters where possible to support children to understand the value of each digit. Gattegno charts should also be used to complement the learning. Children should be given chance to read aloud and write numbers.
