Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. Counting on and back identifies the unlabelled marks on the number line.
  2. Thinking about the value of the digits helps to position numbers on a number line.
  3. 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 0-1,000,000 number line.

It is important to check if pupils are secure in placing numbers on a 0-1,000 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.

This lesson follows a very similar structure to the previous lesson. Once completed, it may be beneficial to draw together the learning from both lessons and consider any further connections that can be made between bar models and number lines and how they are represented.
