One million is composed of 1,000 thousands. One million is written as a one followed by six zeros.

Problem solving using knowledge of the composition of powers of 10

Maths

 In this unit pupils will identify and place the position of 6-digit multiple of one thousand numbers on a marked, but unlabelled, number line. They will read scales by using their knowledge of the composition of 10000 and 100000. In the future unit pupils will use representations to identify and explain patterns in powers of 10 and read numbers with up to 7 digits efficiently.

In the prior unit pupils explained how one hundred thousand can be composed and read and wrote numbers up to one million. In this unit pupils will identify and place the position of 6-digit multiple of one thousand numbers, on a marked, but unlabelled number line They will read scales in graphing and measures contexts by using their knowledge of the composition of 10000 and 100000. 

Understand place value within numbers with up to 7 digits
