Count forwards and backwards in powers of 10 to and from any multiple of 1,000
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can count forwards and backwards in steps of 10, 100 and 1,000 to and from any multiple of 1,000
Key learning points
- When you don't cross a boundary, only one digit changes when you count in 10s, 100s and 1,000s
- When you count across a boundary, two or more digits will change.
- Unitising when counting can help when crossing boundaries.
Keywords
Multiple - A multiple is the result of multiplying a number by an integer (not by a fraction).
Common misconception
Pupils struggle to count over the boundaries for multiples of ten thousand and one hundred thousand.
Ensure children focus on the number of thousands they have within the number. This should effectively be the same as counting in ones over tens and hundreds boundaries, with the exception of the unit changing from ones to thousands.
Teacher tip
Ensure children count from a range of starting points both forwards and backwards. Counting can often be overlooked and it is worthwhile to give appropriate time to the practising of counting.
