Free maths worksheet from mathsblog.co.uk
Once again we have a maths worksheet which needs a very good understanding of place value to answer correctly. Dealing with numbers up to millions is not easy for children: many never succeed in being able to read them correctly.
Whilst the second part of the worksheet requires a calculator, the questions are no less difficult. There are problems with keying in a number such as six million, six hundred thousand or where zeros act as place holders.
When asked to write a number such as six hundred and seventy thousand many children will write something like 600 70 000 ignoring place value (it should read 670 000).
