Number and Place Value
How it’s taught in school
Students learn to count in multiples of 6, 7, 9, 25, and 1000, recognise place value in four-digit numbers, and understand negative numbers. They practise rounding numbers to the nearest 10, 100, or 1000.
Try it at home
- Practise counting in multiples of 6, 7, 9, and 25 using number lines or grids.
- Ask your child to find 1000 more or less than various four-digit numbers to strengthen place value understanding.
- Use real-life contexts for rounding, like estimating costs by rounding to the nearest ten or hundred.
