Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. Numbers can be composed in different ways.
  2. Each thousand is equal to 10 hundreds or 100 tens.
  3. Numbers can be read in different ways. 1,300 is equal to 13 hundreds, but you might hear people read this as 13 hundred.

Keywords

  • Compose - Compose means joining together parts to make another number.

Common misconception

Pupils may not see that larger numbers can be composed in different ways.

Use place value charts to show pupils how numbers can be composed in different ways (e.g. 1700 = 17 hundreds, 170 tens or 1700 ones). Make clear links to how we can read the number and how this helps us to describe what it is composed of.

Base 10 blocks or place value counters help pupils visualise and represent hundreds numbers up to 2,000. Emphasise the link between how we say the number name (e.g. 1 thousand 3 hundred, or 13 hundred) and its value (e.g. 13 hundreds or 130 tens). This helps us to describe how a number is composed.
