Place value within 100 - Assessment

The Place Value within 100 Assessment for Year 1 pupils is an evaluative tool designed to gauge their understanding of numerical value and order. The assessment includes a variety of tasks such as counting stars to determine a total, completing number tracks, and understanding part-whole relationships. Pupils are also asked to complete sentences based on their knowledge of place value, with an emphasis on correctly identifying tens and ones in given numbers. For instance, they must recognise that 6 tens and 8 ones is equal to 68, and assess whether statements like "8 tens is greater than 79" are true or false.

Further challenges within the assessment require pupils to compare numbers using the less than, greater than, or equal to symbols, and to arrange a series of numbers in ascending order. An example provided is the ordering of the numbers 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, and 55 from smallest to largest. Additionally, the assessment includes a scenario where a character named Tia suggests a missing number greater than 72, prompting students to think of possible numbers that could fit this description. The assessment also encourages self-reflection, asking pupils to circle how confident they feel about their place value skills on a scale from 1 (not confident) to 5 (very confident), thus providing teachers with insight into their students' self-assessed proficiency.
