Place value - 1,000s, 100s, 10s, 1s - Presentation

In a comprehensive presentation on place value, students delve into the concept of 1,000s, 100s, 10s, and 1s. The slides are designed to encourage interaction and discussion, prompting students to explore what they already know about the place value system. The lesson starts with an introduction to the fundamental components of four-digit numbers, where students are asked to consider the value that each digit represents within a number. As the lesson progresses, they engage in various activities, each aimed at deepening their understanding of how numbers are constructed and the significance of each digit's position.

Students are tasked with completing sentences that help them recognise the thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones in given numbers. They are encouraged to think about the accuracy of their number formation and to identify tools that could assist them in this process. The activities include practical exercises such as filling in part-whole models to visualise the composition of numbers, writing down numbers from pictorial representations, and determining the value of underlined digits within numbers. The presentation also challenges students with reasoning tasks that involve creating four-digit numbers based on specific rules, finding missing digits using provided clues, and discussing the representation and value of zero within numbers. These varied exercises aim to reinforce the students' place value skills and promote a thorough comprehension of the number system.
