This download includes 3 lessons of differentiated worksheets on Rounding to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000. The worksheets can be used as part of a Place Value unit. Each worksheet invites the children to plot the numbers on a numberline, filling in the nearest multiple of 10 / 100 / 1000 depending on the lesson. They then draw an arrow to the number that it rounds to.
Each lesson has 4 worksheets: LA, MA, HA and Greater Depth. As the difficulty increases, scaffolding is reduced, ending with a Problem Solving and Reasoning challenge for the Greater Depth.
Lesson Overview:
Lesson 1: Rounding to the nearest 10
Lesson 2: Rounding to the nearest 100
Lesson 3: Rounding to the nearest 1000 with recap

This is a 50 page slideshow of information, pictures and photographs on Auschwitz Birkenau. The slideshow consists of background information, pictures taken from the internet, and pictures from my own visit to Poland and the camps. The powerpoint was originally delivered to a Year 6 class as part of their WW2 topic, but it could be used or adapted for a KS3 audience. Some slides only contain pictures and will need to be backed up with historical knowledge.

They begin by asking students to rearrange to digits to make the smalled and greatest number, and then move on to adding inequalities to complete the statements.
LA: Ordering and comparing 3 digit numbers with simple inequalities (< and >)
MA: Ordering and comparing 4 digit numbers with inequalities (< and >)
HA: Ordering and comparing 4 digit numbers with inequalities (< and >) and stretch challenge
