Place value - Tens and ones using addition - Worksheet

Mastering the concept of place value is crucial for young learners, and this worksheet is designed to reinforce their understanding of tens and ones through the use of addition. Aimed at Year 6 students, the lesson's objective is to recognise the place value of each digit in a two-digit number. To achieve this, a variety of resources are employed, including differentiated worksheets, visual teaching slides, and concrete base 10 materials to provide a hands-on experience. Key vocabulary such as 'place value', 'partition', and 'addition symbol' are highlighted, ensuring students are familiar with the terms used throughout the lesson.

The worksheet encourages pupils to explore the partitioning of numbers into tens and ones using part-whole models. For instance, the number 39 might be partitioned as 20 + 19. The exercises guide students to express these partitions with the addition symbol, reinforcing the idea that numbers up to 100 can be represented in different ways, such as 73 being written as 70 + 3. As students progress, they are tasked with completing part-whole models and writing corresponding number sentences, enhancing their fluency and precision in number manipulation. This approach not only solidifies their arithmetic skills but also deepens their conceptual understanding of how two-digit numbers are composed.
