2. Place Value – Skill Drill
Decide on the symbol that fills the box: either <, > or =
1) 37,605 □ 38,001
6) 9, □ 9,198
37,605 < 38,001
9, > 9,198
2) 67,059 □ 67,509
7) 4,200 □ 2, ,000
67,059 < 67,509
4,200 = 2, ,000
3) 10,820 □ 10,288
8) 72,541 □ 72,451
10,820 > 10,288
72,541 > 72,451
4) 14,654 □ 41,654
Do students need a reminder before you start? Revisit ideas from the previous lesson, refreshing the use of < and > [See today’s PowerPoint Slide 11. 
Are students struggling once they’ve begun? Can you quickly deal with a small number of students one-to-one within the time limit, while the remainder complete the task? Or do you need to revise ideas from the previous lesson for the majority? [Refresh the use of < and > : See PowerPoint Slide 11.
When ready to begin, click the yellow box, or keyboard ↓ or  arrow to start the timer. Timer may be interrupted if all students finish, by clicking again.

3. Place Value – On The Blocks…
1. Read the numbers shown by the green arrows.
2. What number is labelled by the blue arrow? b a c d
You may need mini-whiteboards.
3. What number might the arrow at ‘a’ be indicating?
about 10,230
Is 10,230 nearer to 10,200 or 10,300?
We can say that 10,230 rounded to the nearest hundred is 10,200.
What are b, c and d rounded to the nearest 100?

Read the numbers shown by the green arrows. a c e b d
What numbers might be shown by the other arrows?
You may need mini-whiteboards. Click once on the number line to use the animation to reveal the 1000s numbers between 10,000 and 20,000 to read together.
What are a, b, c, d and e rounded to the nearest 1000?

5. Place Value – On The Blocks…
18,000
19,000
17,000
Rounding 18,500 to the nearest 1000 is tricky because…
If a number falls half-way when rounding,
the rule is that we ROUND UP.
So, 18,500 rounded to the nearest 1000 is 19,000.
