Calculate with Large Numbers Including Millions Worksheet

In this activity, you need to use your place value knowledge to solve a variety of calculations.

Let's recap the place value of numbers, including those in the millions, using a place value chart.

Place value chart

By looking at this chart, you need to able to recognise the value of each column and understand why it's written like that.

Remember, it can be helpful to read larger numbers in groups of 3,

19 thousand then 14

7 million then 43 thousand then 167

9 million then 2 thousand then 879

Over to you now to use your place value skills to tackle a range of questions. Ready?

Question 1

Can you accurately complete the number sentence to represent 816958?

CORRECT ANSWER

EDDIE SAYS

How did you find that? Work through each part of the number and remember to read it in groups. To read 816958 we say, "8 hundred and 16 thousand, 9 hundred and 58".

ANSWERS

Question 2

Can you accurately complete the number sentence to represent 1 622 344?

CORRECT ANSWER

EDDIE SAYS

Again, to complete the blanks correctly, you need to work through each part of the number and remember to read it in groups. To read 1 622 344 we say, "1 million and 622 thousand, 3 hundred and 44".

ANSWERS

Question 3

Look at the numbers below, which is the larger number of the two?

64 922 64 092

CORRECT ANSWER

64922
64 922

EDDIE SAYS

Although both numbers contain 64 thousand, 64 922 is the larger number as it has nine hundreds, whereas 64 092 doesn't have any hundreds. When comparing numbers, start with the largest digit, then work through each digit to accurately compare. Is this beginning to make more sense? Let's keep practising...

ANSWERS

Question 4

Look at the numbers below, which is the largest of the two?

2 512 444 2 512 333

CORRECT ANSWER

2 512 444
2512444

EDDIE SAYS

These two numbers look quite similar as they both contain 2 million, 512 thousand. However, 2 512 444 is the larger number as it has a greater number of hundreds, tens and ones. Remember, when comparing numbers, start with the largest digit and then work through each digit in order to accurately compare.

Question 9

If a sequence starts with the number 33 591 and 10 000 is added on each time, what will the next 3 numbers in the sequence be?

CORRECT ANSWER

43 591, 53 591, 63 591

There were a lot of very similar numbers to look at there! When adding 10 000 each time, the next 3 numbers in the sequence are 43 591, 53 591, 63 591. As you can see, it is only the ten thousand digit (TTh) that is changing, the other digits remain the same! Don't get caught out.

EDDIE SAYS

Again, this question required some close reading! When adding 1 000 000 each time, the next 2 numbers in the sequence are 3 459 012, 4 459 012. As you can see, it is only the millions (M) digit that is changing. Great work, you've completed another activity! How about attempting another one so you feel super confident?
