Maths Year 5 Autumn Place Value

Day 1 Teaching
Model writing numbers dictated in words and show the place value of each digit using a place value chart. Write place value additions and subtractions, e.g. 43,561 – 3000.
Group Activities
-- Work out what to add to a number with one zero, e.g. 50,555 to make all digits the same.
-- Identify numbers with digits of given value.
-- Create 5-digit numbers from given digits.

Day 2 Teaching
Start with a 5-digit number and add/subtract 1s, 10s, 100s, 1000s, 10,000s to get a number with all the digits the same, e.g. 44,444. Discuss how to do this, letting children have a go first. Agree the place value of each digit.
Group Activities
Use the in-depth problem-solving investigation ‘Space Distances’ from NRICH as today’s group activity.
Or, use these activities:
-- Play a game adding 1s, 10s, 100s, 1000s, and 10,000s.
-- Work out what to add and subtract, one stage at a time to make the number 55,555.
Day 3 Teaching
Generate 5-digit numbers using cards, then place these on a line and compare pairs of numbers. Ensure children know which digits are most important when ordering or comparing numbers.
