Maths: place value

Our homework yesterday included sorting a list of 4-digit numbers into order, smallest first. We then thought of our own numbers to fit in between those numbers. You can see the numbers we chose, in red, on the board above.
We then did an Explore activity from the Abacus book. We had six place value cards: 3000, 2000, 700, 100, 90, 60, 5 and 3. We had to make all the numbers we could using those cards, between the limits of 2000 and 3000. The exercise helped us understand place value. You can see the numbers on the right side of the board above.
