Lesson details

Key learning points

The column headings for integer values can be expressed in different ways.
The column headings for integer values can be expressed in exponential form.
The column headings for non-integer values can be represented with fractions.

Keywords

Exponential form - When a number is multiplied by itself multiple times, it can be written more simply in exponential form.
Fractional form - A number is in fractional form when it is displayed as one integer divided by another integer.

Common misconception

10^3 means 10 x 3

10 x 3 = 30. 10^3 = 10 x 10 x 10 = 1000.

By having ready to fill place value charts with headings expressed in different forms it will save pupils repeatedly copying the tables out. It will also provide potential scaffolding where needed.
