Number > Place Value

Australian Curriculum Version 9 Says:

Recognise, represent and order natural numbers using naming and writing conventions for numerals beyond 10 000.

What this means

Students use whole numbers at least into the millions in a HTO HTO pattern in numerals and words.

  • Recognise; students can read numbers (e.g. 72 000 as seventy-two thousand).
  • Represent; show numbers using number lines. Using physical materials beyond 4-digit numbers becomes difficult.
  • Natural numbers; 1, 2, 3, …. (note: the ACARA glossary includes 0).
  • This is the last reference to whole number place value. Year 4 moves on to decimal place value.

Tip

  • To fully understand the HTO HTO pattern, students need to see three repetititions. This means reading and writing numbers into the hundreds of millions
