Digit value in numbers up to 1,000,000 worksheet

Designed to enhance understanding of place value in numbers up to one million, Activity 1 utilises six-digit number cards, both in numeral and word formats. Children are given individual cards and instructed to keep their numbers private, although they may share with an adult if assistance is needed. In a large open space, such as a hall or playground, children are directed to move to specific locations based on various criteria related to the digits in their numbers. For instance, they might be asked to group themselves according to whether the hundred thousand digit is greater or less than five. After repositioning, they form small groups to verify each other's placements and explain their reasoning, with the activity repeated multiple times using different criteria.

Activity 2 shifts to a more detective-style approach, where children use whiteboards and pens to deduce a hidden number based on a series of clues. The clues are strategically given to reveal information about the hidden number's digits, such as their relative values or arithmetic relationships. Children are encouraged to consider whether the order of the clues affects their ability to solve the puzzle. In Activity 3, the concept of descending numbers is introduced, and children are tasked with determining the total number of possible five and six-digit descending numbers. These activities are designed to solidify the students' ability to determine the value of each digit in larger numbers, enhancing their numerical literacy and place value comprehension.
