Teaching guide

What students learn

Explain patterns when multiplying or dividing by powers of ten and use whole number exponents to write them.

How to teach it

Build numbers with base-ten blocks or bundles of ten, then say the value of each digit ('the 3 is worth 30'). Expand numbers (300 + 40 + 2).

Worked example
What is the value of the digit 1 in 612877?
Answer: 10000

Generated and checked in code, so it is correct.

Watch out for

Reading a digit at face value regardless of its column, and dropping the zero as a place-holder (e.g. writing 32 for 302).

Sets A-F are the same worksheet with different questions - print any (or all) for fresh practice.
