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

The worksheet "Place value - 100s, 10s, 1s" is a comprehensive tool designed to help Year 6 students grasp the concept of place value in three-digit numbers. The National Curriculum objective for this lesson is to recognise the place value of each digit in a three-digit number, identify and represent numbers using different representations, and read and write numbers up to 1,000 in numerals and words. To facilitate this learning, children are provided with practical equipment to count in hundreds, tens, and ones, alongside differentiated sheets and teaching slides. Key vocabulary includes terms such as place value, numerals, represent, base 10, hundreds, and thousands. Students will engage with base ten blocks and place value arrow cards to visualise and understand the value of each digit in a number.

During the lesson, children will answer key questions that encourage them to compare different methods of representing numbers, such as using base ten blocks or drawing them. They will use place value charts to write and visualise numbers, both in standard and expanded form, and reason about their answers. The worksheet provides opportunities for children to show their understanding by drawing base ten representations of numbers like 168 and 527, completing place value charts for numbers such as 989 and 672, and exploring different combinations to create a number like 372. The activities are designed to cater to different levels of understanding, with tasks for those working towards the expected level, working within it, or achieving greater depth through reasoning and problem-solving exercises.
