Recognising Place Value in Numbers
Initially, students recognise place value for digits in the ones and tens places. They explore how digits change value depending on their position. By Year 5, they understand place value up to millions, enabling them to perform large calculations and understand the significance of each digit in multi-digit numbers.
Building and Breaking Down Numbers
Students learn to build numbers by combining units, tens, hundreds, and thousands, and then advance to breaking down numbers into their constituent place values. This concept supports their arithmetic strategies and helps in their understanding of number properties. By Year 5, they proficiently decompose and reconstruct numbers, assisting their comprehension of complex operations and algebra.
Place Value in Everyday Contexts
Students apply their understanding of place value in real-life scenarios, such as handling money and measuring distances. They begin with simple applications and progressively handle scenarios involving large numbers and precise calculations. By Year 5, they effectively use place value knowledge to solve real-world problems involving financial literacy, science measurements, and more.
