.......................ACTIVITY 1.9
This activity is meant to help consolidate the knowledge gained through earlier work.
.....................ACTIVITY 1.10
Learners will only be able to answer the questions if they have developed a proper
understanding of the work. It is important for them to know how to do the work.
.....................ACTIVITY 1.11
This exercise will provide an indication of how well the learners understand millions, as
well as the value of each number/figure or digit? If they find the exercise difficult to do, the
pronunciation of numbers should be repeated, and they should focus again on the value
and place value or digits in the number.
.....................ACTIVITY 1.12
This activity indicates to learners that numbers can be written in different ways. Stress
that the number is multiplied by itself as many times as indicated by the small figure,
and NOT multiplied by the small figure.
.....................ACTIVITY 1.13
This involves revision of rounding off. Learners should use their acquired knowledge to
round off to the nearest 1 000.
.....................ACTIVITY 1.14
This presents an opportunity to improve mental calculation skills. Educators could set a
fixed period of time for the activity.
.....................ACTIVITY 1.15
This activity is meant to be revision of work completed in Grade 5. Ensure that learners
are well acquainted with the differences.

Learners are introduced to palindromes. Ensure that they understand the concept and
provide further examples, if necessary.
.....................ACTIVITY 1.17
This activity involves revision of the properties of 0 and 1.
.....................ACTIVITY 1.18
A considerable amount of time could be allowed for this, as learners frequently struggle to
apply the principles correctly. Many more examples could be provided to ensure that this
is properly consolidated.
