- Year 6
Position five-digit multiples of 1,000 on a marked but unlabelled number line
I can position five-digit multiples of one thousand on a marked but unlabelled number line.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- Counting on and back identifies the unlabelled marks on the number line.
- Thinking about the value of the digits helps to position numbers on a number line.
- Work out which points a number lies between to help position it on a number line.
Keywords
Scaling - Scaling is when a given quantity is made ___ times the size. In this lesson, scaling will involve making values 1,000 times the size.
Multiple - A multiple is the result of multiplying a number by an integer (not by a fraction).
Common misconception
Pupils struggle to position five-digit multiples of 1,000 on a 0-100,000 number line.
It is important to check if pupils are secure in placing two-digit numbers on a 0-100 number line. This is a fundamental prerequisite to be able to achieve with this learning, so spending time securing this prior learning may be necessary.
Encourage pupils to reason about how they decide to position numbers on a 0-100,000 number line, referring back to their understanding of the 0-100 number line.
