Providing manipulatives discussed in previous year groups for pupils to write as Roman numerals, or showing the Roman numerals and having pupils recreate them using manipulatives is another meaningful task. Teaching addition and subtraction, multiplication or place value concepts that are beyond their understanding is like building a house with sand as foundations; it is destined to fall down and crumble. Any new learning that they cannot make sense of will fall out of their head. For example, getting students to partition CCCLXII into their Arabic counterparts of 300 + 60 + 2 and then combining those into 362 helps to reinforce place values in our number system. Place value at Key Stage 2 develops this understanding to handle larger numbers and the relative values of each digit depending on where it appears in the number. It is expected that by the end of Year 6, pupils will be able to identify the place value of digits in numbers up to 10,000,000 – and solve problems accordingly.

Due to the nature of place value, it is not appropriate to have typical word problems as you would have in other areas of mathematics (e.g. the four operations). This is a good opportunity to introduce the additive inverse property to pupils. When you add a number to the same negative value e.g. 1 + (-1), you will always make zero, and this is known as a zero pair.Children who do not understand that there is a limit to the value that can be represented using only tens and ones, will not understand this when dealing with more bases. As ‘number’ can refer to anything that is quantifiable, we are literally asking students to place a whole number within the place value when really, we should be asking what digit. This allows for constant repetition of this area of mathematics without devoting much more dedicated curriculum time to it. Place value problem solving and reasoning Year 5 The Year 4 pupils would be expected to work out the number from the visual representation before using the correct symbol to show the relationship between the two values. Dienes representing 451 and then 251 It is also important that you reverse the process. Instead of only asking students to represent a number with the dienes, show dienes and ask students to explain which digit is being represented, the value of that digit and then the number that the digits represent.

The temperature in Moscow is 4 degrees Celsius. It drops by 7 degrees. What is the new temperature now? At Key Stage 1, pupils are required to learn place values for numbers up to 100, including recognising the place value of any digit in a two-digit number. When comparing numbers, pupils should continue to use manipulatives, draw the numbers pictorially or write them using digits or in written form.

Teaching about the latest events?

When counting below zero, it is important that we count zero as a step. A common reasoning problem to demonstrate this would be the following. As a digit is put into the neighbouring column to the left, the value of the digit becomes ten times larger. When a digit is moved in to the column to the right, the value of the digit becomes ten times smaller.

It is imperative that by this stage, students are familiar with the following rules regarding Roman Numerals.

Students must enter Key Stage 2 with a conceptual understanding of place value. I implore you to not teach other objectives of mathematics if their understanding of place value is not secure. This journey begins in the earliest mathematical experiences of students, particularly those experiences in Key Stage 1 where the place value system is taught more explicitly. One of the most effective methods I have come across to teach this is through the use of double-sided counters. Double-sided counters M should be tied to the idea of a millennium being 1,000 years and is a unit of time we still refer to. Children should now know the following numerals and their values.
