Rounding Numbers within 100,000

Rounding Numbers within 100,000

(0)
Children build on their learning to round any number within 100,000 to the nearest 10, 100, 1,000 or 10,000. They should be confident with multiples of 10,000 and the process of rounding should also be familiar. Children need to realise that the midpoint of two multiples of 10,000 ends in 5,000, so they need to look at the digit in the thousands column to determine how to round the number. Be careful with the language of “round up” and “round down” in case children mistakenly change the wrong digits when rounding. The previous multiple of 10,000 is ____ The next multiple of 10,000 is ____ Ask, “Which multiples of 10,000 does the number lie between?” “Which place value column should you look at to round the number to the nearest 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000?” “What happens if a number lies exactly halfway between two multiples of 10,000?”

The number 5 is important when you are rounding numbers. To round any number you need to follow a rule. To round 17,842 to the nearest 100, you need to round the digit in the hundred column. Look at the digit to its right, in the tens column to see which multiple of 100 you need to round the number. The digit in the tens column is 4. This number is closer to 17,800 than 17,900, so you need to round it to 17,800. Rounding to two decimal places means rounding to the nearest hundredth. One decimal place means to the nearest tenth.

In this worksheet, children challenge their knowledge of rounding to the nearest 10, 100 and 1,000 by solving word problems. It is important that children hear and use the language of “rounding to the nearest” rather than “rounding up” and “rounding down”, as this can lead to errors. Number lines are a particularly useful tool to support this, as children can see which multiples of 10, 100 or 1,000 the given numbers are closer to. When there is a 5 in the relevant place value column, despite being exactly halfway between the two multiples, we round to the next one. Watch for: The language “round down”/”round up” and so round 62,180 to 61,000 (or 61,180) when asked to round to the nearest 1,000. Ask: “Which multiples of 10, 100, 1,000 does the number lie between?” " Which multiple on the number line is the number closer to?" " What is the number rounded to the nearest 10, 100, 1,000?" “Which place value column should you look at to round the number to the nearest 10, 100, 1,000?” “What happens when a number is exactly halfway between two numbers on a number line?”

Add and Subtract Mental Strategies

Add and Subtract Mental Strategies

(0)
Add and subtract numbers mentally with increasingly large numbers. In this worksheet, children recap and build on their learning from previous years to mentally calculate sums and differences using partitioning. They use their knowledge of number bonds and place value to add and subtract multiples of powers of 10. If they know that 3 + 4 = 7, then 3 thousand + 4 thousand = 7 thousand and 3,000 + 4,000 = 7,000. Children need to be fluent in their knowledge of number bonds to support the mental strategies. How does knowing that 6 + 3 = 9 help you to work out 60,000 + 30,000? “How can the numbers be partitioned to help add/subtract them?” "Are any of the numbers multiples of powers of 10? " “How does this help you to add/subtract them?”

The worksheet is aimed at those working towards age expected. In this worksheet, children recap their learning and extend their understanding to dealing with 4-digit numbers and adding and subtracting multiples of 1,000. The focus is on mental rather than written strategies. It is important to explore the effect of either adding or subtracting a multiple of 1, 10, 100 or 1,000 by discussing which columns always, sometimes and never change. For example, when adding a multiple of 100, the ones and tens never change, the hundreds always change and the thousands sometimes change, depending on the need to make an exchange.

Add and subtract numbers mentally with increasingly large numbers. In this worksheet, children recap and build on their learning from previous years to mentally calculate sums and differences using partitioning. Children explore strategies such as compensation and adjustment to mentally calculate the answer to questions such as 73,352 + 999 or 16,352 − 999. Children need to be fluent in their knowledge of number bonds to support the mental strategies. "Are any of the numbers multiples of powers of 10? " “How does this help you to add/subtract them?” "What number is 999 close to? “How does that help you to add/subtract 999 from another number?”

The numbers can be made using place value counters in a place value chart, alongside the formal written method. When discussing where to start an addition, it is important to use language such as begin from the “smallest value column” rather than the “ones column” to avoid any misconceptions when decimals are introduced later in the year. After each column is added, ask, “Do you have enough ones/ tens/hundreds to make an exchange?” Extra reasoning activity sheet.

In this worksheet, children add 3- or 4-digit numbers with no exchanges, using concrete resources as well as the formal written method. The numbers being added together may have a different number of digits, so children need to take care to line up the digits correctly. Even though there will be no exchanging, the children should be encouraged to begin adding from the ones column. With extra reasoning activity sheet Add numbers with up to four digits using the formal written methods of columnar addition. Solve addition two-step problems in contexts, deciding which operations and methods to use and why.

In this worksheet, children revisit the use of the column method for addition and learn to apply this method to numbers with more than four digits. Place value counters and place value charts are used for a support. These representations are particularly useful when performing calculations that require an exchange. Children may find it easier to work with squared paper and labelled columns as this will support them in placing the digits in the correct columns, especially with figures containing different numbers of digits. answer sheet attached.

The worksheet is aimed at those working towards age expected. Building on from the previous worksheet, children add two 4-digit numbers with one exchange in any column. The numbers can be made using place value counters in a place value chart, alongside the formal written method. When discussing where to start an addition, it is important to use language such as begin from the “smallest value column” rather than the “ones column” to avoid any misconceptions when decimals are introduced later in the year. After each column is added, ask, “Do you have enough ones/ tens/hundreds to make an exchange?" This question will be an important one in this worksheet , as the children do not know which column will be the one where an exchange is needed. Extra reasoning activity sheet.

It is important that children hear and use the language of “rounding to the nearest” rather than “rounding up” and “rounding down”, as this can lead to errors. Number lines are a particularly useful tool to support this, as children can see which multiples of 10, 100 or 1,000 the given numbers are closer to. When there is a 5 in the relevant place value column, despite being exactly halfway between the two multiples, we round to the next one. Watch for : The language “round down”/”round up” and so round 62,180 to 61,000 (or 61,180) when asked to round to the nearest 1,000.

Efficient Subtraction Core

The purpose of this worksheet is to encourage children to make choices about which method is most appropriate for a given calculation. Children can often become reliant on formal written methods, so it is important to explicitly highlight where mental strategies or less formal jottings can be more efficient. Children explore the concept of constant difference, where adding or subtracting the same amount to/from both numbers in a subtraction means that the difference remains the same, for example 3,835 – 2,999 = 3,835 – 3,000 or 700 – 293 = 699 – 292. This can help make potentially tricky subtractions with multiple exchanges much simpler, sometimes even becoming calculations that can be performed mentally. Number lines can be used to support understanding of this concept.
