This week, we have been revising numbers up to 1,000 and have introduced learning how to say and read numbers up to 1,000,000.

We then progressed on to learning about powers of 10 by developing the children’s understanding of place value by exploring the relationship between numbers in different columns.  As well as adjacent columns, we looked at columns that are further apart, for example considering the number of tens needed to make 1,000 and then multiples of 1,000. We used both place value charts and Gattegno charts to support their understanding.
