Lesson Summary
You will learn to explain how one hundred thousand can be composed.
Key Notes
- Ten ten thousands make one hundred thousand.
- One hundred one thousands make one hundred thousand.
- One thousand one hundreds make one hundred thousand.
Vocabulary To Learn
- Multiple: A multiple is the result of multiplying a number by another whole number.
- Equivalent: Two expressions are equivalent if they have the same value.
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Pupils attempt to learn how many tens, hundreds and thousands there are in 100,000 as a set rule rather than develop a sense for this.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Solve this in steps: explain the method from this lesson and why each step matters.
Ten ten thousands make one hundred thousand. One hundred one thousands make one hundred thousand.
2. Use this key word in a maths sentence and explain it clearly. 'Multiple'
A multiple is the result of multiplying a number by another whole number. Use this word when showing your method, then check your final answer is reasonable.
3. Spot and fix this common maths mistake.
Mistake: Pupils attempt to learn how many tens, hundreds and thousands there are in 100,000 as a set rule rather than develop a sense for this. Correction: Building and breaking 100,000 in different ways can be a really effective way to develop a sense of the number. You could use base 10 blocks to build up to 100,000 where a one cube could be redefined as 100 and then use plasticine to create 10 and 1.
