Place value - Thousands, hundreds, tens and ones - Starter

The starter activities for Year 5 during the Autumn Term's first week focus on reinforcing place value concepts, specifically understanding thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones. In one of the exercises, students are presented with the task of performing addition with the numbers 5,380 and 568. They are required to calculate the sum, which hones their addition skills within larger numbers. Another task, labelled 'Fluent in Four - Revision', challenges students to determine the value represented by a combination of ones, hundreds, and tens. They must combine these to find the total, further practicing their place value knowledge and addition skills.

Additionally, the activities include a manipulation of a four-digit number represented in a place value chart with thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones. Students are instructed to add or subtract specific amounts of hundreds, thousands, and tens from the initial number, 6,217. This exercise helps them understand how each digit's value can change the overall number when added or subtracted. The final part of the task requires students to match fractions to their correct products when multiplied by 13, 11, or 17, integrating multiplication and fraction concepts. These varied tasks are designed to provide a comprehensive review of place value and basic arithmetic operations, essential for students' mathematical development.
