In this Year 6 Number Line to 10,000,000 lesson, children read, write, order and compare numbers up to 10,000,000 and determine the value of each digit.
The Year 6 Number Line to 10,000,000 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
number lines: A horizontal or vertical line which has numbers placed at equal points. Number lines can be used to show either positive or negative numbers. Most number lines begin at 0, but this is not always the case.
midpoint: The point on a number line that is exactly halfway between the start and end values.
finding the difference: Involves finding how many numbers are between two given numbers.
Varied Fluency
Knowledge Organiser
• Designed to support all children via key information and examples.
Scaffolded Examples
• Finding the value of each division to label a number line.
Support
• Q1: Label each division on number lines. One division already labelled.
• Q2: Read the number an arrow points to on number lines. One division already labelled.
• Q3: Read the midpoint of an interval on number lines. One division already labelled.
Core
• Q1: Label each division on number lines. Start and end numbers labelled.
• Q2: Read the number an arrow points to on number lines. Start and end numbers labelled.
• Q3: Read the midpoint of an interval on number lines. Start and end numbers labelled.
Stretch
• Q1: Label each division on number lines. One division already labelled; no end number labelled.
• Q2: Read the number an arrow points to on number lines. Number lines that do not start with 0.
• Q3: Read the midpoint of an interval on number lines. One division already labelled; no end number labelled.
Reasoning and Problem Solving
Support
• Q1: Reasoning - explain whether a number has been indicated correctly on a number line. All divisions labelled.
• Q2: Reasoning – explain the mistake that has been made when labelling the divisions on a number line. All divisions labelled.
• Q3: Problem Solving – find possible end numbers and arrow values on a number line with a missing end number, where the end value is a power of 10.
Core
• Q1: Reasoning - explain whether a number has been indicated correctly on a number line. Start and end numbers labelled.
• Q2: Reasoning – explain the mistake that has been made when labelling the divisions on a number line. Start and end numbers labelled.
• Q3: Problem Solving - find possible end numbers and arrow values on a number line with a missing end number, where the arrow is pointing to a multiple of 100,000.
Stretch
• Q1: Reasoning - explain whether a number has been indicated correctly on a number line. Number line does not start with 0.
• Q2: Reasoning – explain the mistake that has been made when labelling the midpoint on a number line. Number line does not start with 0.
• Q3: Problem Solving - find possible end numbers and arrow values on a number line with a missing end number, where the arrow is pointing to a midpoint.
Deeper Reasoning
The questions in this set focus on using clues to determine the correct number on number lines to deepen understanding in exploring number lines up to 10,000,000.
