Add multiples of powers of 10 crossing the millions boundary
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can add multiples of powers of 10 crossing the millions boundary.
Key learning points
- Powers of 10 and their multiples can be added using the language of unitising.
- Known facts can be used alongside unitising to add powers of 10 and their multiples.
- Addition of powers of 10 and their multiples can be represented on a number line.
Keywords
Million - One million is composed of one thousand thousands. 1,000 × 1,000 = 1,000,000 We write one million as a one followed by six zeros.
Unitise - When we unitise, we treat groups that contain, or represent, the same numbers of things as ‘units’ or ‘ones’. Being able to unitise is key in understanding place value.
Common misconception
Children may struggle with the language of unitising.
Encourage children to read aloud and spot what they notice - which known fact can they see - what is the same/different?
Teacher tip
Children need to be secure with known number facts to 20 to ensure they can unitise successfully minimising overload. Children need to be aware of the additive structure and that if one addend remains the same and the other addend increases by an amount then the sum will increase by the same amount.
