Find the previous and next multiple of 10 or 100 to position numbers on a number line.
The halfway steps can be used to help find the 5 or 50 numbers.
Counting in steps of 1, 10 and 100 helps us to position a number on a number line.

Pupils may make errors using the halfway steps between numbers (e.g. wrongly label 374 as 379).

Encourage pupils to find and label the halfway steps (e.g. the 5 or the 50s numbers).

Represent - Represent means showing something, or standing for something.
