The Year 4 Order Numbers to 10,000 PowerPoint guides both teachers and children through the lesson, including use of the varied fluency, reasoning and problem solving, deeper reasoning and scaffolded resources. Key learning information about this step:
Key Vocabulary
ascending order: When values or quantities have been arranged in size from the smallest to the greatest.
descending order: When values or quantities have been arranged in size from the greatest to the smallest.
> < =: Comparison symbols used to represent more than (>), less than (<) and equal to (=).
place value chart: Used to identify the value of the digits that make up a number.
placeholder: 0 is used to hold a place in a number and maintain its place value.
Varied Fluency
Knowledge Organiser
• Designed to support all children via key information and examples.
For the purple sections of the four levels, copy and paste these from the first sheet of the varied fluency resource.
Scaffolded Examples
Reading counters, making numbers from digit cards and ordering numbers.
Support
• Q1: Ordering numbers on a place value chart; thousands digits all different.
• Q2: Making the greatest, smallest and one other number from four digit cards.
• Q3: Ordering three lengths, smallest first, two 4-digit number and one 3-digit number (where the digits used are all different in the 4-digit numbers).
Core
• Q1: Ordering numbers on a place value chart; thousands digits the same.
• Q2: Making the greatest, smallest and three other numbers from four digit cards.
• Q3: Ordering three lengths, smallest first, three 4-digit numbers (where two of them share a thousands digit).
Stretch
• Q1: Ordering numbers on a place value chart; hundreds and thousands the same.
• Q2: Making five numbers from digit cards with a repeated digit and a 0.
• Q3: Ordering four lengths, greatest first, including four 4-digit numbers (where they all use the same 4 digits in different orders).
Reasoning and Problem Solving
Support
• Q1: Reasoning - explaining whether a character has correctly found the greatest number, where one number has three digits.
• Q2: Reasoning - deciding whether a statement comparing four-digit and three-digit numbers is always, sometimes or never true.
• Q3: Problem Solving - finding a length that lies between a given shortest and longest length.
Core
• Q1: Reasoning - explaining whether a character has correctly found the greatest number when thousands digits match.
• Q2: Reasoning - deciding whether a statement about comparing hundreds digits is always, sometimes or never true.
• Q3: Problem Solving - finding a number that lies between two numbers with the same thousands digit.
Stretch
• Q1: Reasoning - explaining whether a character has correctly found the greatest number when hundreds digits also match.
• Q2: Reasoning - deciding whether a statement about numbers made from the same digits is always, sometimes or never true.
• Q3: Problem Solving - finding three numbers that meet two place value conditions.
Deeper Reasoning
The questions in this set focus on problem solving with number sequences to deepen understanding in ordering and comparing numbers beyond 1,000.
