What's in the worksheet

6 multiple-choice questions - The 4 in 3,452 is in the hundreds - The 7 in 7,206 is worth 7000 - 2,000 + 300 + 40 + 5 = 2345 - Largest of 5,001, 4,899, 4,999: 5,001 - 1,000 has 10 hundreds - The 0 in 5,032 holds the place

How to use it in class

Use at the start of the P4 number unit to review place value before going beyond 100,000, about 6 minutes, solo mode. - Keep a place-value chart (ones, tens, hundreds, thousands) on the board - For hundreds in 1,000, stack ten hundreds flats into a thousands cube - For the 0 in 5,032, remove it to show the number becomes 532 - Play it linked to the class to record results in the mark book

Common sticking points

- Choosing 100 for hundreds in 1,000, confusing it with tens in 1,000. Count hundreds flats - Thinking 4,999 beats 5,001 because of all the 9s. Compare the thousands first - Choosing 2354 or 2435 for 2,000 + 300 + 40 + 5 by placing digits in the wrong column. Fill a place-value chart
