Place value - Numbers to 100,000 - Worksheet

The "Numbers to 100,000" worksheet is an educational resource designed to help Year 6 students understand and master place value for numbers up to 100,000. The National Curriculum objective is to enable children to read, write, and determine the value of each digit in numbers at least up to 100,000. To facilitate this learning, the worksheet provides a variety of exercises that require the use of differentiated worksheets and teaching slides, as well as a place value chart to visually represent numbers. The vocabulary for this lesson includes terms such as thousands, hundreds, tens, ones, ten thousand, and represent, which are crucial for grasping the concept of place value.

Students are tasked with representing numbers on a place value grid and converting numbers up to 100,000 into both words and digits. The worksheet offers a hands-on activity where students can cut out place value charts and practice writing the numbers in different formats in their books. Key questions challenge students to think about how the place value grid aids in adding or subtracting multiples of 10, 100, or 1,000 to a number, and whether the same number of digits change each time. Additionally, students explore whether counting forwards or backwards is necessary to determine if a number fits within a sequence. These exercises not only build fluency and precision in dealing with large numbers but also develop reasoning and problem-solving skills as students navigate through various numerical challenges.
