Max Maths, Year 6, Learn together, Numbers to the millions (3)

In an engaging exercise designed for Year 6 students learning about large numbers, Tya demonstrates how to count by increments of 10,000 starting from the number 1,445,206. Students are prompted to observe the sequence and identify which digit changes with each increase of 10,000. The pattern in the sequence is clear: the third digit from the right increases by one each time, moving from 1,445,206 to 1,455,206, then to 1,465,206, and so on. The activity challenges students to apply this pattern to determine the next number in the sequence, which is 1,495,206 after adding another 10,000.

Another counting exercise asks students to count by larger increments, this time by 50,000. The exercise is divided into three parts, each with a different set of numbers. In part (a), the sequence begins at 3,550,600 and progresses through 3,600,600; 3,650,600; up to 3,750,600 with each step adding 50,000. Part (b) starts with 800,070 and increases by 50,000 with each step, eventually reaching 1,000,070. Finally, part (c) begins at 7,316,000 and with each increment of 50,000, the sequence moves through 7,366,000 and 7,416,000, culminating at 7,516,000. Through these exercises, students practice identifying patterns and applying them to find the subsequent numbers in a sequence when counting by tens or hundreds of thousands.
