Place value - Represent numbers to 1,000 - Worksheet

The "Representing Numbers to 1,000" worksheet, part of a series from masterthecurriculum.co.uk, aims to solidify students' understanding of place value through fluency and precision exercises. The National Curriculum objective for this lesson is to read and write numbers up to at least 100 in both numerals and in words, and to identify and represent these numbers using various representations. To aid in this task, a range of concrete manipulatives such as bead strings, base ten blocks, place value counters, straws, and ten frames are recommended, alongside differentiated worksheets and teaching slides.

Students are encouraged to explore the concept of tens and ones using concrete materials, which helps them to visualise and understand the value of numbers. The worksheets provide exercises where children match numbers written in numerals and words to their correct pictorial representations. For example, they must pair "nine tens and six ones" with the numeral "96". As they progress, they tackle more complex tasks, including calculations that require them to find the number represented. The reasoning and problem-solving section challenges students to identify errors in representations and to explain their thinking. For instance, they must discern why an image does not correctly show "twenty-five plus nine" and understand that reversing tens and ones can change the number's value.
