Max Maths, Year 6, Try it, Comparing and ordering numbers within 1000000 (3)

In an engaging exercise from Max Maths for Year 6, students are tasked with ordering sets of numbers to understand their value within the one million range. In the first activity, they must arrange a series of single-digit numbers into a sequence from the smallest to the greatest. The digits provided are 3, 3, 6, 8, 5, 9, 8, 6, 0, 1, 8, 5, 3, 1, 6, 5, 9, 5, which must be correctly placed from the ones column through to the hundred thousands column, ensuring that the final number sequence correctly represents ascending values.

The second activity flips the challenge, requiring students to order another set of single-digit numbers from the greatest to the smallest. This time, the digits given are 8, 9, 0, 8, 8, 9, 1, 2, 7, 3, 3, 0, 0, 9, 4, 7, 7, 7. They must be aligned from the ones position to the hundred thousands position to create a descending sequence of numbers. The final task again asks students to arrange digits from the smallest to the greatest, with the digits to be ordered being 3, 5, 0, 1, 1, 1, 5, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 0, 6, 6, 6. These exercises not only reinforce understanding of place value but also sharpen skills in comparing and ordering large numbers. For further practice and detailed explanations, students are directed to the workbook pages 27 to 29.
