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

The lesson plan on 'Place Value - 100s, 10s and 1s' is tailored for learners to recognise and understand the value of each digit in a three-digit number. The National Curriculum objective is for students to identify and represent numbers using different representations, as well as read and write numbers up to 1,000 in both numerals and words. To facilitate this learning, practical equipment is used to help children count in hundreds, tens, and ones, along with differentiated sheets and teaching slides. Key vocabulary such as 'place value', 'numerals', 'represent', 'base 10', 'hundreds', and 'thousands' are introduced, and children are encouraged to continue identifying numbers and representing them in numerals and words. Through various activities, they work with base ten blocks and place value arrow cards, which help them visualise and understand the value of each digit in a number.

As part of the worksheet activities, students are asked to interpret visual representations of numbers using base ten blocks and then write the corresponding numeral and word form. They are also tasked with drawing base ten representations for specific numbers, completing place value charts, and exploring different combinations to make a given number, like 372. For those working towards the expected level, the activities include making three-digit numbers and reasoning about their answers, while those working at greater depth engage with numbers in expanded form and solve clues to find specific three-digit numbers. The lesson plan includes reasoning and problem-solving exercises where students use digit cards to create various numbers and use place value grids to visually arrange and understand the numbers created. The problem-solving tasks challenge students to think critically, such as determining how many different numbers can be formed from a set of digit cards or explaining their reasoning when presented with a specific arrangement on a place value grid.
