Place value - 100s, 10s and 1s - Presentation

In a comprehensive presentation on place value, students delve into the concept of hundreds, tens, and ones. The lesson sets off by challenging pupils to come up with five examples of three-digit numbers, encouraging them to think about the structure and composition of numbers. Subsequent slides present a series of interactive activities where students are tasked with identifying the value of numbers represented on a place value chart. They are instructed to write their answers both numerically and in words, reinforcing their understanding of number representation and place value. For example, the number 233 is broken down into two hundred and thirty-three, illustrating the individual value of each digit according to its position.

Further activities guide students to correctly position values within a place value chart and to represent numbers using a part-whole model. One such exercise asks students to complete a chart to show the number 354, which they do by placing 300 in the hundreds column, 50 in the tens, and 4 in the ones. Another activity involves using arrow cards to construct numbers, where cards with digits 4, 0, and 7 are arranged to create the number 407. The presentation also includes reasoning tasks, such as evaluating the accuracy of a given number on a place value grid and exploring different combinations of hundreds, tens, and ones that can form a specific number, like 452. The lesson encourages discussion and comparison of answers among peers, fostering a collaborative learning environment where students can discuss their reasoning and share strategies for understanding place value.
