Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. Powers of 10 and their multiples can be subtracted using the language of unitising.
  2. Known facts can be used alongside unitising to subtract powers of 10 and their multiples.
  3. Subtraction of powers of 10 and their multiples can be represented on a number line.

Common misconception

Children may struggle with the language of unitising.

Encourage children to read aloud and spot what they notice - which known fact can they see - what is the same/different?

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.

  • Unitise - When we unitise, we treat groups that contain, or represent, the same numbers of things as ‘units’ or ‘ones’.

  • Power of 10 - A power of 10 is when 10 is multiplied by itself a certain number of times.
