Place value - Tens and ones - Worksheet

The "Tens and Ones" worksheet series is a comprehensive set of activities designed to help Year 6 students understand the concept of place value, specifically recognising the value of each digit in a two-digit number. The lesson's objective is to teach children how to partition numbers into tens and ones and to use part-whole models to represent this visually. Resources provided for the lesson include manipulatives for hands-on learning, differentiated worksheets to cater to varying levels of ability, and teaching slides to guide the instruction. Key vocabulary terms such as "place value," "partition," "tens and ones," and "part whole model" are central to the lesson, ensuring students can articulate their understanding of the concepts being taught.

The lesson structure encourages students to practice partitioning numbers using part-whole models, which are split into tens and ones. This helps solidify their understanding of what each digit in a two-digit number represents. As they progress, children are tasked with completing part-whole models in different ways and are challenged to represent the totals in various formats, including drawing their models into their books. To deepen their understanding, students can also partition numbers into three parts, adding or removing parts to ensure the models are accurate. The activities cater to different learning stages, from "Working Towards" to "Greater Depth," with reasoning and problem-solving tasks that involve partitioning models in unique ways and completing extended part-whole models. The lesson concludes with a series of questions and activities that encourage students to explore multiple ways to partition numbers, further developing their fluency and precision with place value.
