Place Value - Numbers to 10,000,000 - Starter

The materials designed for Year 6 students in their Autumn Term focus on enhancing their understanding of place value, specifically with numbers up to 10,000,000. The session begins with a starter activity that involves basic arithmetic calculations such as dividing 81 by 9. As part of their 'Fluent in Four' revision, students are challenged with a series of tasks designed to consolidate their numeracy skills. One task asks students to identify a number represented by a combination of tens and ones, followed by a calculation that requires them to apply their knowledge of multiplication and subtraction.

In another part of the lesson, students are tasked with drawing shapes and calculating their perimeters, which involves adding lengths of sides measured in different units, such as centimetres and millimetres. This exercise not only tests their understanding of measurement and conversion but also their ability to work with mixed units. Additionally, students are presented with a problem that requires them to identify the type of angle based on a given turn, distinguishing whether it is larger or smaller than a right angle and naming the angle type accordingly. These exercises are designed to reinforce their arithmetic abilities and deepen their comprehension of geometry and place value.
