Place value - Assessment

The Year 3 Number and Place Value Assessment is a comprehensive tool designed to evaluate students' understanding of key mathematical concepts. For instance, students are asked to determine if a given number is odd or even by identifying the digit in the ones column. They also practice recognizing the value of digits in different columns, such as circling a number from a set where the digit 5 is in the tens place. The assessment includes matching exercises where students must pair written number words with their numerical counterparts, reinforcing their grasp of number names and their corresponding figures.

Further challenges involve creating numbers using counters, where students must select the correct number of counters to form a number greater than a specified value, such as 300. They are also tested on their ability to identify the number of tens in a larger number like 700 and to complete sequences of numbers with missing digits. The assessment extends to digit card activities where students must arrange cards to form all possible three-digit numbers within a given range. Additionally, students are asked to perform simple calculations to find a number that is 100 less, 10 more, or 10 less than a given number, testing their understanding of place value and basic arithmetic operations. Finally, students are encouraged to reflect on their confidence with place value concepts, providing a self-assessment of their skills.
