Counting in steps of powers of 10 quiz

This quiz is tailored for Year 5 students to strengthen their understanding of place value by counting in steps of powers of 10. The objective is to practice counting forwards or backwards in various increments, such as thousands, ten thousands, and hundreds, for numbers up to one million. The activity is designed to boost numerical fluency and reinforce the concept of place value, which is fundamental in the mathematics curriculum.

The quiz consists of ten questions, each prompting students to write the next number in a sequence, either by counting forwards or backwards from a given number. For instance, one question might ask students to count forward in thousands from 356,743, while another challenges them to count backward in ten thousands from six hundred thousand and five hundred and seventeen. The quiz covers a range of increments, including counting in hundreds and tens as well, to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the concept. The answers are provided for each question, allowing for self-assessment or teacher-led review.
