The purpose of this unit of sequenced lessons is to develop knowledge and understanding of place value in three digit numbers and one thousand. It is also to enable students to generalize from known two-digit facts, apply patterns associated with these to three digit numbers to 999, and to introduce 1000.
A number of existing related teaching resources are relatively procedural in their nature. Therefore the purpose of this series of lessons is to deepen students’ conceptual understanding of the structure and patterning within our numeration system.
This unit supports the teaching and learning activities in Student e-ako Place Value 3 and 4 and complements lessons found in Book 5, Teaching Addition, Subtraction and Place Value.
This is the sixth in a series of units developing place value concepts. This unit builds on these previous units of work:
