Place Value - Compare and Order - Presentation

The 'Compare and Order' presentation is an educational resource designed to enhance the understanding of place value for Year 6 students. The presentation includes a series of fluency and reasoning teaching slides that guide students through the process of comparing and ordering numbers. Students are encouraged to use the mathematical symbols 'greater than' (>), 'equal to' (=), and 'less than' (<) to create true statements when comparing numbers. Activities within the presentation prompt learners to compare numbers with different place values, ranging from ones (O) to millions (M), as they become proficient in identifying the value of each digit in a number.

Further exercises within the presentation offer more complex challenges, such as determining the possible number hidden by a 'splat' based on given numerical ranges. These activities require students to apply their knowledge of place value to deduce the missing numbers. In addition to comparison tasks, the presentation also includes reasoning activities where students are tasked with ordering a series of numbers in ascending order, taking into account specific conditions such as the total of the digits. These activities not only solidify the students' grasp of place value but also develop their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Discussion prompts are provided to facilitate deeper understanding and application of the part-whole model in relation to place value.
