1.1 Understanding digits and place value 1.2 Reading, writing and ordering
whole numbers1.3 The number line
Concepts and skills
• Understand and use positive numbers… both as positions and translations on a number line.
• Writing numbers in words.
• Writing numbers from words.
• Order integers….
Functional skills
• L1 Understand and use whole numbers … in practical contexts.
Prior key knowledge, skills and concepts
• Students should already know addition number bonds to 9 + 9 and times tables to 10 × 10.
Starter
• Would you rather have 5p or £5? Why? (Both have the same face value but the place value is different.)
Main teaching and learning
• Teach students to equate place value with column value.
• Write the column headings shown on p.2 of the Student Book on the board. Include Ten Thousands, Hundred Thousands and Millions if you wish.
• Write 3429 on the board. Point to one of the fi gures in 3429 and ask What is the value of this fi gure?
• Ask students to place each fi gure under the appropriate column heading.
• Write ‘fi ve hundred and seven’ on the board (in words) and ask students to place each fi gure under the appropriate column heading.
• Write the numbers 327, 40, 635, 9003, 500 on the board. Ask students to place the numbers under the column headings and using this, order the numbers from smallest to largest.
• Revise the number line for positive integers
• Ask students for three numbers between 20 and 40. Write the numbers on the board and then, together, construct an appropriate number line (appropriate length and scale divisions) to show these three numbers. Use the numbers to check students can pinpoint their position on the line and ask students to explain how the number line can help them order these three numbers.
• Ask students for 6 pairs of numbers less than 20, write these on the board, numbering the pairs 1 to 6. For even pairs ask students to mentally add the numbers, for odd pairs they should mentally subtract the smaller number from the larger. Ask students to explain their mental strategies for doing this and compare different strategies.
Common misconceptions
• Some students will write 428 for four thousand and twenty-eight. Remind students that if ‘hundreds’ (for example) is not mentioned it still has a place value and needs a place holder of zero.
Enrichment
• Include ten thousands, hundred thousands and millions.
Plenary
• Discuss moves on a number line (see Exercise 1C) in preparation for the next lesson.

Concepts and skills
• … multiply and divide whole numbers….
• Multiply and divide numbers using the commutative, associative, and distributive laws and factorisation where possible, or place value adjustments.
Functional skills
• L1 … multiply and divide whole numbers using a range of strategies.
Prior key knowledge, skills and concepts
• Tables to 10 × 10
• Number bonds to 9 + 9
Starter
• Practise instant recall of products.
Main teaching and learning
• Teach students to multiply a 3-digit number by a 1-digit number.
• Ask students to explain two or more different methods for multiplication, for example 157 × 3.
• Extend to 3-digit by 2-digit.
• Teach general multiplication using formal column procedures.
• Teach students to divide a 3-digit number by a 1-digit number.
• Ask students to explain two or more different methods for division, for example 352 ÷ 8.
• Teach long division by a 2-digit number.
Common misconceptions
• Not appreciating column importance, which is seen as ×20 becoming ×2, etc. Stress that although you are only multiplying by a single digit, that digit has place value.
• Mistakes are commonly made with: 7 × 9, 7 × 8, 8 × 9, 6 × 9. Write 7 × 9 as 7 × 10. As this is 10 sevens which is 7 too many, 7 × 9 = 70 – 7 = 63. This is a useful check if you are not sure and works for any product with 9. 7 × 8 = 7 × 2 × 2 × 2 =14 × 2 × 2 = 28 × 2 = 56.
Plenary
• Write questions based on Exercise 1F questions 7 and 8, using your students’ names and the local football club.

1.6 Rounding
Concepts and skills
• Round numbers to a given power of 10.
Functional skills
• L1 Understand and use whole numbers … in practical contexts.
Prior key knowledge, skills and concepts
• Place value
Starter
• Ask for estimates of the number of beads in a jar (or similar). The important thing is to get an estimate.
• Discuss whether or not exact suggestions make sense.
• Discuss whether nearest 10 or nearest 100 is most sensible.
Main teaching and learning
• Give students an exact value, and ask them to tell you the nearest 10. (Students’ own answers.)
• Extend to nearest 100, 1000, million.
• Use some or all of the following questions and ask students to say whether numbers should be left as they are, or rounded up, or down, to the nearest 10, 100, 1000 or other degree of accuracy:(a) 43 people lift a train!(b) 6845 people attended a football match.(c) 24 572 people live in Hightown.(d) 285 people turned up to a public meeting.(e) 2348 people attended a pop concert.(f) 405 people were watching the game.(g) The distance is 2014 km.(h) He walked for 10 206 m.(i) The weight of the van was 3803 kg.
Common misconceptions
• Students often truncate numbers instead of rounding.
Enrichment
• Ask what is the smallest number which, when rounded to the nearest 100, gives 700? (650).
• Repeat using other numbers if necessary.
Plenary
• Use Exercise 1B question 5 and ask students to round the fi gures to the nearest 1000, 10 000, 100 000.

Functional skills
• L2 Understand and use positive and negative numbers … in practical contexts.
Prior key knowledge, skills and concepts

• All number bonds.
Starter
• Establish the need for negative numbers through temperature, height above sea level, etc.
Main teaching and learning
• Extend the number line to include negative integers.
• Teach students how to add with negative and positive numbers.
• It may help some students to work out the difference between two numbers starting with positive numbers. This naturally leads on to the difference between a positive and a negative number as adding the sizes of the two numbers together. Another way is to consider subtraction as the inverse operation to addition; otherwise the answer always seems to be positive.
• Teach students how to fi nd the difference when negative numbers are involved (this is best done within the context of temperature using a thermometer as the number line).
• Teach students the rules for multiplying and dividing negative numbers.
Common misconceptions
• The difference between a negative number and subtracting a positive number is sometimes misunderstood.
• Emphasise the distinction between a minus sign that belongs to a number and the minus sign that signals ‘do a subtraction’.
Plenary
• Ask students to explain the rules for multiplying and dividing negative numbers.

• Find the prime factor decomposition of positive integers.
• Find common factors and common multiples of two numbers.
Functional skills
• L1 … multiply and divide whole numbers using a range of strategies.
Prior key knowledge, skills and concepts
• Tables up to 10 × 10
Starter
• Counting aloud in 2s starting from, say, 30. Then from, say, 250. Would it be any more diffi cult from, say, 2310? What is the pattern?
• Continue similarly from an odd number start. What is the pattern?
• Although this is the introduction to odd and even numbers, it can also be used for multiples.
Main teaching and learning
• Even numbers always end in 2, 4, 6, 8 or 0.
• Odd numbers always end in 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9.
• Multiples are obtained by multiplying the number by a positive whole number.
• The factors of a number are whole numbers that divide exactly into the number, including 1 and the number itself.
• Prime numbers only have 1 and the number itself as factors.
• Numbers can be written as products of prime numbers.
• Explain the tree method of decomposition.
Common misconceptions
• Students sometimes confuse factors and multiples. (Tell them that multiples come from multiplying.)
• Thinking that 1 is a prime number.
Enrichment
• Most numbers have an even number of factors. There are some numbers that have an odd number of factors. Find some of these and say what is special about them.
• Factors – Packing and tiling problems.
• Multiples – How many biros costing 19p can I buy with £5? (Multiples of 19 are not easy, but using multiples of 20 you can buy 25 biros and get 25p change. Enough to buy another biro. Answer: 21 biros.)
Plenary
• Ask students to give examples of: prime numbers, factors of a given number (say 72 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36), multiples of, say, 4 (e.g. 8, 12, 16, 20), and to write a number such as 144 as a product of its prime factors. (144 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 or 144 = 24 × 32)
Resource sheet 1.10The factor gameThere are various ways of playing this game but the class elimination version illustrates the principles. As there is an element of luck with when the question reaches you there is no real shame in dropping out.
1. Choose a number. Although any number will do, one with several factors is best.
2. The first student names a factor of that number.
3. The next student names a different factor of the number.
4. Once all the factors have been exhausted the only acceptable answer from the next student is ‘no further factors’ or words to that effect.
5. Any student unable to offer a correct answer is eliminated.
6. Continue until a winner is found. As you get towards the end students may be difficult to eliminate, so have some numbers with tricky factors like 13, 17 up your sleeve.
An alternative version is to play as a team game, scoring points for correct answers. You may prefer to use nominated team members to answer rather than throwing it open. This avoids the game being dominated by able individuals.
Another possibility if you wish to emphasise that factors occur in pairs is to require answers as factor pairs. In this instance the class will need to be advised about square numbers as having a repeated factor.

1.11 Finding lowest common multiple (LCM) and highest common factor (HCF)
Concepts and skills
• Find common factors and common multiples of two numbers.
• Find the LCM and HCF of two numbers.
Functional skills
• L1 … multiply and divide whole numbers using a range of strategies.
Prior key knowledge, skills and concepts
• Mental division by 2, 3, 5 and 7.
Starter
• A stamp measures 6 cm by 3 cm. There are to be 60 stamps to a sheet, which has to be rectangular. Work out possible sizes for the sheet. (3 cm by 360 cm, 6 cm by 180 cm, 12 cm by 90 cm, 9 cm by 120 cm, 18 cm by 60 cm, 24 cm by 45 cm, 15 cm by 72 cm, 30 cm by 36 cm.)
Main teaching and learning
• Explain how to fi nd the LCM by listing families of multiples. The product of the numbers is always a common multiple but not necessarily the least. (List the fi rst few multiples of the numbers. Pick out the smallest that is in all lists. This is the LCM.)
• Ask students to write out lists of up to twenty multiples of each of the following numbers: (a) 2 and 3 (b) 5 and 7 (c) 6 and 4 (d) 12 and 8 (e) 9 and 6.
• For each pair of numbers, circle the smallest number that appears in both lists of multiples. Is the circled number always the product of the two original numbers? For (d) and (e) ask What are the factors? What are the common factors?
• Explain how to fi nd the HCF. (List all the factors of the numbers. Pick out the smallest that is in all lists. This is the HCF.)
• Some students might benefi t from knowing that the HCF of any two numbers must be a factor of the difference between the two numbers.
Common misconceptions
• Confusing HCF with LCM.
Enrichment
• Question 2 of the guided practice worksheet may be used here.
Plenary
• Discuss question 5 on the guided practice worksheet.
• Discuss question 32 of the Review exercise. Explore the possibilities if the cartons contain 144 bottles.

1.12 Finding square numbers and cube numbers
Concepts and skills
• Recall integer squares up to 15 × 15 and the corresponding square roots.
• Recall the cubes of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10.
• Find squares and cubes.
Functional skills
• L1 … multiply … whole numbers using a range of strategies.
Prior key knowledge, skills and concepts
• Long multiplication
Starter
• Use the Alice in Mathsland resource sheet as a class activity.
Main teaching
• Teach students about square numbers.
• Show the number 9 represented by nine dots in a square. Ask students to say what other numbers, represented by dots, would form a square. Without drawing squares, how can we work out the fi rst 10 square numbers? (2 × 2; 3 × 3 etc).
• Teach students about squaring.
• Teach students about cube numbers.
• If we calculate square numbers by multiplying a number by itself, how would we calculate a cube number? (Write the number down three times then multiply.) Ask students to calculate the fi rst 5 cube numbers.
• Teach students about cubing.
Common misconceptions
• Students sometimes double numbers instead of squaring them.
• Students sometimes multiply by 3 instead of cubing.
Enrichment
• 1 000 000 = 10002 = 1003 1 million is a square number and a cube number. Can you fi nd another number which is both a cube number and a square number? There are nine of them less than 1 million. (1, 64, 729, 4096, 15 625, 46 656, 117 649, 262 144, 531 441)
Plenary
• Devise a quiz based on the chapter review. For example, ask students to defi ne a factor.
Resource sheet 1.12Alice in MathslandThis is an investigative activity that looks at the link between square numbers and geometry. The way you use it could be as an investigation or as a class teaching exercise.
Alice was making patterns with tiles.The patterns she was making were stair patterns.
4 tiles 9 tiles 16 tiles
She knew that 4, 9 and 16 were all square numbers and wondered if all the patterns would use a number of tiles that was a square number.
Launch investigationPlenaryShe made some more patterns and then had a brainwave.
If she cut off the right-hand side and turned it upside down it would exactly fit the left-hand side of her pattern and make a square.This would always be true. Her result had been proved.
She then experimented some more and added tiles in a different way to make squares.
1 + 3 (1 + 3) + 5 (1 + 3 + 5) + 7
She realised that she had found another interesting result.The sum of consecutive numbers starting with 1 always made a square number.
