Place value - Tens and ones using addition - Worksheet

The "Tens and Ones Using Addition" worksheet is a valuable resource for Year 6 students to grasp the concept of place value, specifically recognising the tens and ones in a two-digit number. The lesson's objective aligns with the National Curriculum's aim to ensure students can identify the place value of each digit within a number. To facilitate this learning, the worksheet provides differentiated activities, teaching slides, and concrete resources such as base 10 blocks. Key vocabulary terms like 'place value', 'part-whole', 'tens', 'ones', 'partition', 'addition', and 'addition symbol' are introduced to help students articulate their understanding of the concepts.

Students engage with part-whole models to partition and recombine tens and ones, thereby constructing a total. For example, they might see the number 39 broken down into 20 + 19, and use the addition symbol to express this partitioning. The worksheet encourages students to complete part-whole models with varying levels of provided information and to write corresponding number sentences. As they advance, they tackle reasoning and problem-solving tasks, such as identifying which part-whole models represent a given number or determining the odd one out from a series of models. This structure not only consolidates their understanding of place value but also enhances their fluency and precision in mathematical operations involving addition.
