Know that 10 hundreds are equivalent to 1000 (4)

Description

Pupils need to experience:

• what 1,000 items looks like
• making a unit of 1 thousand out of 10 units of 100, for example using 10 bundles of 100 straws to make 1,000, or using ten 100-value place-value counters

Language focus: “10 hundreds is equal to 1 thousand.”

Pupils must then be able to work out how many hundreds there are in other four-digit multiples of 100.

Language focus: “18 hundreds is equal to 10 hundreds and 8 more hundreds.” “10 hundreds is equal to 1,000.” “So 18 hundreds is equal to 1,000 and 8 more hundreds, which is 1,800.”
