Every number in this two-page set has five or six digits. A chart from hundred thousands to ones walks through 836,425, naming the 3 as ten thousands worth 30,000. Students write the place and value of bold digits, say and write numbers such as 318,507 in words, and compare pairs with <, > and =. They also work out how many times greater one 7 is than another, and the answer key writes out the multiplication behind each of those answers.
For item 13, have students count the jumps from thousands to hundred thousands. Two jumps means 10 × 10, so the answer is 100 times, not 10.
Listen to how students read 318,507. Point to the comma: they read the digits before it, say "thousand", then read the last three digits.
Ways to adjust the chart work and big-number comparisons for different students.
Each one is checked against the official document. Where the resource covers only part of a standard, the note says so.
Students name the place and value of digits in five- and six-digit numbers, write numbers in words, compare them with <, > and =, see that each place is 10 times the one to its right, and build a number from clues. Numbers stop below 1,000,000 and ordering a list is not practised.
Five- and six-digit numbers from 39,174 to 971,034, with no four-digit numbers. For four-digit place value with base-ten block pictures, see the Place Value Worksheet.
