Place Value Target Boards - Ordering and Rounding 1

KS2Gems' Target Boards for Year 5 Place Value offer an interactive and dynamic approach to mastering key mathematical concepts involving numbers up to at least 1,000,000. The primary objective of these activities is to help students understand the value of each digit in large numbers, to compare and order these numbers effectively, and to round them to the nearest 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000, and 100,000. These target boards are versatile tools that can be used to start or conclude a lesson, and they are perfect for retrieval practice, ensuring that students can recall and apply their place value knowledge with confidence.

The Target Boards are designed to be displayed to the whole class or smaller groups, with children using whiteboards and pens to engage with the activities. Teachers can direct students to perform various tasks such as identifying numbers with specific digit values, arranging numbers in ascending order, or rounding numbers to a specified degree of accuracy. These exercises can be differentiated to cater to various learning levels within the classroom, allowing for simultaneous challenges across different groups. For example, one group might be asked to find all numbers with a ten thousands digit greater than 8, while another might be tasked with rounding the bottom row of numbers to the nearest 10,000. This method of practice helps to reinforce students' understanding of place value in a fun and engaging way.
