Higher Ability Year 5 Place Value Numbers to 100,000

Children be able to add and subtract 10, 100 and
1,000 to and from a given number, using their place value
knowledge rather than formal written methods.

Ask, “What is the value of each digit in the number?”

" How can you represent the number in a different way?"

“Which digit or digits would change in value if you added a 10/100/1,000 counter?”

“How do you write the number in words?”

Watch for :

Children may not yet have fully grasped placeholders, for

example reading 309 as thirty-nine.

Children may rely on the column method of addition and

subtraction when this is not necessary.

Children may not use, or may misplace, the comma when

writing numbers greater than or equal to 1,000.
