Stage 2

Representing numbers using place value B
Whole numbers: Order numbers in the thousands
  • Arrange numbers in the thousands in ascending and descending order

  • Recognise and describe how rearranging digits changes the size of a number (Reasons about relations)

  • Identify the nearest thousand, 10 thousand or 100 thousand to numbers

Whole numbers: Apply place value to partition, regroup and rename numbers up to 6 digits
  • Name thousands using the place value grouping of ones, tens and hundreds of thousands

  • Use place value to expand the number notation

  • Loading  numbers of up to 6 digits in non-standard forms

Whole numbers: Recognise and represent numbers that are 10, 100 or 1000 times as large
  • Recognise the number of tens, hundreds or thousands in a number

  • Describe how making a number 10, 100 or 1000 times as large changes the place value of digits

Decimals: Extend the application of the place value system from whole numbers to tenths and hundredths
  • Divide a Loading  representing one whole into 10 equal parts and label the divisions using Loading  notation

  • Use the decimal point as a marker to identify the position of the ones digit when expressing tenths as decimals

  • Recognise that 10-tenths is recorded as 1.0 and regroup when using decimal notation

  • Represent and compare tenths as decimals using linear representations (Reasons about relations)

  • Subdivide tenths into 10 equal parts and record hundredths using place value

  • Express decimals as both tenths and hundredths

  • Locate and order decimals representing tenths and hundredths on a Loading , describing their relative size

  • Interpret zero digits at the end of a decimal

  • Distinguish between the role of zero in various positions

Decimals: Make connections between fractions and decimal notation
  • Record Loading  measurements using decimals

  • Connect Loading  strips showing tenths to a number line marked in hundredths

  • Compare and order decimals of up to 2 decimal places

  • Make connections between fractions and decimal notation for key benchmark values (Reasons about relations)
