We took part in Active Maths for our lesson to consolidate our understanding of numbers up to 1,000,000. We had to find partitioned numbers that were hid around the playground. Once we had found then, we had to work together to work out what the six-digit number was and read it. The first team to find it and work it out got a point and the team to find the most numbers first got 5 dojos each! We then made up a little tune to help us to remember what place value means.
