One thing I found tricky today was:

🚀 Extension Challenge (Optional — for Fast Finishers)

Differentiation: Try these if you've finished everything above and want to push your thinking further!

Challenge A: A scientist measures a distance of 0.047 kilometres. Convert this to metres by multiplying by 1000. Explain each digit shift using a place value chart.

Challenge B: Create your OWN word problem that uses either × 100 or ÷ 1000. Swap with a classmate to solve!

Differentiation note for students: If you found the equations in Part 1 tricky, try using a place value chart to help you see how the digits move. Ask your teacher for a chart if you need one!
