Dear Parent / Carer,
This half term our maths targets are focusing on place value of numbers. Please find below your child’s
target level. Any additional practise that you are able to do with them at home is greatly appreciated. For
your information, we have also included the next target level at the bottom of the page.
Thank you for your continued support,
Level 5b – Order positive and negative numbers
Your child should know that after zero when counting back the numbers become negative. They
should also know that the larger the negative number, the further away it is from zero.
Common misconceptions occur when placing negative numbers on a number line as children can tend
to put larger negative numbers at the wrong end of the line
