Lesson
Set out your lesson
Read, write, expand and order large whole numbers while preserving zero placeholders.
Before teaching
Use this short check, then start teaching.
Learner readiness not observed. Ask for the value of 6 in 6,204 and 2,604. Revisit comparison beyond 1,000 or the ×10 place relationship if the values are confused.
Check learner readiness separately; the existence of a prerequisite lesson is not evidence of attainment.
