Key learning points

  1. An integer can be read aloud in different ways.
  2. Context may affect how an integer is read aloud.
  3. An integer can be written using its digits when described in different ways.

Keywords

  • Digit - A digit is one of the symbols of a number system. In our number system we use the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.

  • Integer - An integer is any positive or negative whole number or zero. E.g. -2, 0, 153 are all examples of integers.

Common misconception

40 thousands placing the 4 in the thousands column.

As there are 40 thousands the 4 is in the ten thousands column.

Providing place value charts is invaluable for this lesson. Either with digit cards to place, wipe clean or a number of charts provided for pupils use. This will save time and misplaced pupil effort.
