Place Value - Assessment

The Year 6 Number and Place Value Assessment provides a comprehensive evaluation of students' understanding of numerical values and their positions within a number. The assessment includes a variety of questions that challenge students to identify numbers indicated by arrows, such as 5,000 and 15,000, and to complete number equations by adding missing place values, for instance, filling in the blanks to make 145,036 and 5,802. Students are also tasked with using digit cards to create the largest possible three-digit even number, which is then rounded to the nearest ten, with the correct answer being 870.

Further exercises involve ordering the lengths of four rivers from longest to shortest, where the correct order is Nile, Mississippi, Saint Lawrence, and Rio Grande, and rounding the length of the Nile river to the nearest 100 km. Additionally, the assessment measures students' ability to interpret temperature changes on a number line, where they must calculate the temperature at 12 pm based on a 16˚C difference from 12 am. Other tasks include creating a number sequence that increases by 50 each time, rounding numbers to the nearest million and hundred thousand, and arranging digit cards to form a number within a specific range, demonstrating a deep understanding of place value and number manipulation.
