We know it's not always easy to develop reasoning and problem-solving skills in every lesson, which is why we created our awesome discussion problems! This Year 5 Counting in Powers of 10 Discussion Problem focuses on counting in powers of 10 in a way that requires children to use these all-important skills. Designed to get children talking about their methods of working out and the answers they have come up with, this is a great way to ensure reasoning and problem-solving skills are used.

An answer page with an example answer for each question has been included with this worksheet, but your children may find different answers. We suggest letting your class mark their own work to encourage even more discussion and self-correction.
