Digit value in numbers up to 10,000,000 worksheet
Maths Resource Description
Designed to enhance the understanding of place value in numbers up to 10,000,000, the first activity requires children to engage with six and seven-digit numbers, both in numeral and word form. Each child is given a number card and instructed not to reveal its content, though those needing assistance may consult an adult. In a large open space, such as a hall or playground, the children are asked to move to specific areas based on criteria related to the digits of their number cards, such as having a hundred thousand digit greater than five. After repositioning themselves, they form small groups to verify the accuracy of their placement and explain their reasoning. This process is repeated with varying criteria, encouraging children to recognize the value of each digit in their numbers.
Subsequent activities continue to focus on place value, with children using whiteboards and pens to interact with the concepts presented. In the second activity, children are given a series of clues to deduce a hidden number, prompting them to consider the significance of each digit's position. They explore whether the order of clues affects their ability to solve the puzzle. Another activity challenges students to identify and count descending numbers with six or seven digits. Further exercises involve deductive questioning within specific numerical ranges and rearranging randomly presented digits into a coherent number, with feedback provided on the accuracy of digit placement. Lastly, a bingo-style game requires children to cross out digits from their chosen numbers as they are called out, aiming to be the first to complete their board. These varied and interactive activities are designed to solidify the students' comprehension of digit values in large numbers, meeting the objective of determining the value of each digit in numbers up to at least 10,000,000.
