Place Value Worksheets KS1

At Key Stage 1 pupils will be learning the foundations of place value – recognising the place value of one and two digit numbers, and using addition and subtraction with them.

Place Value Worksheets Year 1 

Year 1 place value worksheets model the concrete resources pupils use in class, with pictorial support alongside. They build a foundation in place value within 10, and extend it across 100.

At Year 1, pupils will still be learning to recognise numbers up to 100, and may still need the use of number lines and other pictorial aids when reading and writing numbers to fully understand the relationships between them.

Place Value Worksheets Year 6

In Year 6, any place value work will be revision of the place value skills and topics visited in previous years. While the National Curriculum states that numbers up to 10,000,000 should be introduced this year, this should really be a case of extending pupils’ existing number sense abilities rather than teaching them something new.

Place value FAQs

What is a fun game to teach place value?

Place value bingo works across KS1 and KS2. Pupils fill a grid with numbers; you call out a description such as “four tens and three ones”, and they cover the number that matches. Dice games work too: pupils roll three dice, then arrange the digits to make the largest number they can.

How do you teach place value in a fun way?

Move pupils through concrete, pictorial and abstract representations rather than starting with digits on a page. Base 10 blocks, place value counters and arrow cards let children see that the 3 in 30 is worth ten times the 3 in 3. Real numbers help too, so ask pupils what each digit is worth in their town’s population.

How can you explain place value to children?

Place value means the value of a digit depends on where it sits in a number. In 452, the 4 is worth 400, the 5 is worth 50 and the 2 is worth 2. Each column is worth 10 × the column to its right, and the rule continues past the decimal point into tenths, worth one tenth​ of one whole.

What are some fun maths activities for teaching place value?

Practical activities sit well alongside worksheets. Try digit card ordering, human number lines where pupils hold a digit each and rearrange themselves, or “guess my number” using more than and less than clues. A place value concertina is worth making once, because the same resource carries pupils from Year 1 to Year 6.
