Maths- place value

 Learning objectives: I can read and write numbers to 10 million, I can compare and order numbers to 10 million

This week the children in Year 6 have started on their maths journey and have shown amazing fortitude in their knowledge and understanding of Place Value up to numbers of 10 million. 

We first revisited prior learning of Y5 to make sure they had remember the correct vocabulary (digits, value, place holders and numbers). Mr Lines was extremely impressed throughout the week of everyone’s explanation skills of problems and reasoning tasks. All children were able to successfully achieve the lessons’ objectives and more. 

We also created numbers using dice to then compare and order them. All the children were able to explain and talk through how we compare and order numbers. 

Well done Y6, keep up the hard work.

 This term the children will be studying South America. Here is a copy of their journey.  During the first part of the lesson, the children recapped the different lines of latitude and longitude they have learnt throughout key stage 2. Then, they compared four different types of maps about South America: relief maps, political maps, tectonic plate maps and language maps.  Finally, the children used their knowledge of longitude and latitude as well as understanding that there is 15 degrees between each line of latitude on a map. Once this was understood, the children identified the latitude and longitude for different places on the world map.
