Common misconception

Pupils may not make the connection between 10 hundreds, 100 tens and 1 thousand as they may find it difficult to visualise 1,000

Secure understanding of 1,000 using a range of representations: counting up on number lines divided differently, showing Base 10 blocks that are equivalent to a one thousand block and even exploring within the context of money.

This can be taught as a practical session with Base 10 blocks, place value counters and number lines representing 100s, 10s and 1s in one thousand. Draw attention to what each digit represents in 1,000, reading it in different ways, to help children understand the number of 100s, 10s and 1s.
