Should this prove too difficult still, then breaking each numeral down into its component part should be done first e.g. 100 + 100 + 100 + 50 + 10 + 1 + 1. This will depend on the pupils’ prior attainment.

Open-ended activities and, if possible, using the four operations within Roman numerals, is a good way to assess pupils’ problem-solving abilities for Year 5 place value. More examples would be completed using the ‘I do, we do, you do’ approach to guide practice before setting them off on some independent practice when you feel confident in their abilities. Place value word problems in Year 6 M should be tied to the idea of a millennium being 1,000 years and is a unit of time we still refer to. Children should now know the following numerals and their values.

Place value problem solving and reasoning Year 3 Using double-sided counters is a new lesson that shows clearly the four operations with directed numbers. Includes questions from VariationTheory.com. Use MathsBot manipulatives to support teaching and student tasks.This is why you can often find the misconception of ‘a hundred and one’ written as 1001. Students must enter Key Stage 2 with a conceptual understanding of place value. I implore you to not teach other objectives of mathematics if their understanding of place value is not secure. Some teachers may remember teaching place value (or indeed being taught place value by their teachers) and the first position being referred to as a unit. Providing an equation in Roman numerals such as CDL + CL = DC, and asking pupils how else they can create that total using the four operations and their knowledge of Roman numerals provides an adequate challenge, while also allowing children to practice arithmetic. Read Roman numerals to 100 (I to C) and know that over time, the numeral system changed to include the concept of 0 and place value;

You may like to read our blog article 'WHY MATHS COUNTERS STILL HAVE VALUE IN PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOL'which explains how place value disks are beneficial for use with low attaining pupils and students across the ability range to deliver the KS3 maths curriculum. Place value at Key Stage 2 develops this understanding to handle larger numbers and the relative values of each digit depending on where it appears in the number. It is expected that by the end of Year 6, pupils will be able to identify the place value of digits in numbers up to 10,000,000 – and solve problems accordingly. Students should use their knowledge of manipulatives to understand what numbers are being represented and to determine which of those numbers are either greater, less than or equal to another number. Great mastery resource for using manipulatives and double sided counters. Thank you for producing and sharing this. This question can provide plenty of rich mathematical discussion which would be hard to document here.

Engage children with digital learning

At Key Stage 1, pupils are required to learn place values for numbers up to 100, including recognising the place value of any digit in a two-digit number.

Students can see that I now have -4 and can see that as I add more negative numbers the number gets further away from zero. It is important for consistency that the colour of place value resources match the ones shown on tables and charts in textbooks, worksheets and pupil books. Due to this Oakfield Learning has created the plavalmat® range of place value counters to be colour matched to those used by White Rose Maths and Power Maths which are two of the most popular and trusted schemes of learning used in primary, secondary schools and for home learning to support the maths mastery curriculum. For example the 1 place value counter is red, the 10 place value counter is yellow, the 100 place value counter is green and the 1000 place value counter is blue. Other place value disks that match the Singapore colours or European colours but as these are not in line with White Rose Maths, this can lead to confusion. The activity shows the children sets of 10 counters, that are red and yellow. The children need to work out how many of each colour there are and draw them on the ten-frame. This will help them to see how 10 can be composed in different ways. Third Space Learning has also produced a simple guide to place value for children! Teaching place value at KS2: the basics The progression from Year 4 to Year 5 place value sees many of the same objectives needing to be taught with ever-increasing numbers. This part will look at some strategies for Roman numeral teaching to ensure that they are remembered. Teaching Roman numerals Year 5

They have been designed to be used with a plavalmat® which is Oakfield Learning's more durable, flexible and re-useable alternative to place value grids and worksheets. This journey begins in the earliest mathematical experiences of students, particularly those experiences in Key Stage 1 where the place value system is taught more explicitly.

When the same digit is put in a different column on a place value grid, the value changes. E.g. in the number 4,532 the 4 digit is worth a 4 thousands, whereas in 3,20 4 the 4 digit has a value of 4 ones.Understanding the relation to zero is paramount; pupils need to be aware that when using positive numbers the larger the number, the further away from zero it is. I would then show some negative counters. And with pupils having (hopefully) learnt the long multiplication method and begun covering long division, they should be comfortable using place value in conjunction with the four operations in a variety of situations.
