Read and write up to 1,000,000 quiz
Maths Resource Description
The KS2Gems 2021 quiz for Year 5 students is designed to test their ability to read and write numbers up to at least 1,000,000. The objective of the quiz is to ensure that pupils are comfortable with place value and can confidently express numbers in both words and numerals. For example, in Question 1, students are asked to write the number 657,098 in words, which is 'six hundred and fifty-seven thousand and ninety-eight'. In contrast, Question 2 requires them to convert the phrase 'nine hundred thousand, eight hundred and eleven' into numerals, which is 900,811.
Throughout the quiz, students face a variety of challenges, such as converting numerical expressions into words and vice versa. Question 4 asks them to write the number 400,000 + 25,000 + 76 in words, which is 'four hundred and twenty-five thousand and seventy-six'. In Question 5, they must express 'half of 1,000,000' in numerals, resulting in 500,000. The quiz continues with similar questions, testing different aspects of place value, including addition of large numbers and understanding of the value represented by each digit's position. The answers provided at the end of the quiz serve as a reference to check the students' understanding and accuracy.
