Max Maths, Year 6, Practice, Numbers to the millions

In the 'Max Maths, Year 6, Practice, Numbers to the millions' section, young learners are encouraged to deepen their understanding of large numbers through a series of exercises. The first task, 'Let's Practise', is a writing exercise where students are asked to convert numerals into words. They are given three numbers: 1,990,101; 2,005,300; and 5,325,268, which they must write out in full, helping them to grasp the structure and composition of numbers in the millions.

The second activity involves filling in missing numbers in sequences, sharpening their ability to recognise patterns and count in increments of hundreds of thousands and millions. Students are provided with partially completed sequences and must determine the missing numerals that complete the pattern. For example, they are given a sequence starting with 3,000,000 and increasing in hundreds of thousands. The exercise includes various sequences to challenge the pupils' understanding of number progression. In the 'Calculate It' section, students are introduced to using calculators to count by large numbers. They are given step-by-step instructions on how to input a 7-digit number into the calculator, add a specified amount such as 50,000, and find the new total. This practical exercise encourages familiarity with calculators and the concept of incrementing numbers by large values, such as 100,000 or 500,000. The workbook directs students to continue their practice on pages 2 to 7 for further reinforcement of these concepts.
