The new Australian Curriculum: Mathematics has brought forward the age at which students are expected to have place value of large numbers. During our work in classrooms, we find that many Grade 6 and even Grade 7 students are still struggling to reach a deep understanding of place value to 1000 let alone larger numbers. We also find that many students cannot, or do not, read large numbers correctly or with understanding. Rather they rattle them off like a string of telephone numbers.

This book has been extremely well received by teachers who comment that within a very short space of time playing the games included in the book the students can and do read large numbers correctly and begin to refine their understanding of large numbers.

Place Value to 1000 000 supports the teaching of the ACM Number and Place Value strand for Year 4: ACMNA072 and  ACMNA073.
