Place Value & Large Numbers | Upper KS2 PowerPoint + Printable Activities

Help Year 5 and Year 6 pupils understand large numbers with a colourful, pupil-facing 19-slide widescreen PowerPoint, supported by four printable activity sheets and a Teacher & TA Quick Guide with answers.

The PowerPoint develops reading, writing and partitioning numbers up to 10,000,000, comparing and ordering, counting in powers of 10, and rounding to different degrees of accuracy. Clear place-value charts, worked examples and number lines help pupils explain their thinking.

Included in the PowerPoint:
• Learning objectives and key vocabulary
• Worked examples and independent “Your Turn” tasks
• Mistake-spotting and talk-partner questions
• Getting Started, Building Understanding and Challenge tasks
• SATs-style practice, a recap and a RAG exit ticket

Four black-and-white A4 activity sheets:

1. Place Value Detectives — digit values, partitioning and numbers in words.
2. Order, Compare and Count — comparison symbols, ordering, sequences and digit shifts.
3. Rounding Rescue — rounding practice and reasoning challenges.
4. The Number Rescue Comic — six maths missions combining calculations, explanations and drawing.

The one-page Teacher & TA Quick Guide includes answers, common misconceptions, assessment checks and support prompts for pupils with SEN. Blank charts, sentence stems and opportunities to rehearse answers orally support participation.

Suitable for whole-class teaching, revision, paired discussion and small-group support.
