Five a Day - Number - Read Write Order and Compare numbers

The Maths Five a Day resource offers a series of five questions each day that are styled on previous SATs papers, specifically targeting the skill of reading, writing, ordering, and comparing numbers. These questions are designed to be used as a warm-up activity to gauge students' understanding of the concepts and to encourage retrieval practice. After each question, answers are provided to allow for immediate feedback. This resource is an excellent tool for teachers to incorporate into their daily routine to keep numeracy skills sharp and to prepare students for the format and style of SATs questions.

One example question asks students to order a set of numbers on a number line and then identify which number is closest to and furthest from 300. Another question challenges students to write numbers that are a specific quantity less than a given number, such as five less than nine million or one hundred thousand less than ten million. Additional questions include completing a table by adding one thousand to given numbers, ordering a set of numbers from largest to smallest, and identifying the greatest number from a list. These questions not only test students' numerical skills but also their understanding of place value and their ability to manipulate numbers accurately.
