Lesson Details

Key learning points

When you don't cross a boundary, only one digit changes when you count in 10s, 100s and 1,000s
When you count across a boundary, two or more digits will change.
Unitising when counting can help when crossing boundaries.

Common misconception

Pupils struggle to count over the boundaries for multiples of ten thousand and one hundred thousand.

Ensure children focus on the number of thousands they have within the number. This should effectively be the same as counting in ones over tens and hundreds boundaries, with the exception of the unit changing from ones to thousands.

Keywords
