Place value - Number lines - Worksheet

In Lesson 3 of a mathematics series focused on place value and number lines, students are tasked with identifying and representing numbers using a variety of representations. The lesson's objective is aligned with the National Curriculum and aims to enhance children's fluency and precision in understanding numbers. To facilitate this learning, practical equipment is provided for children to count in tens and ones, along with differentiated worksheets and teaching slides to cater to varying levels of ability.

The lesson revolves around the use of number lines, a fundamental tool in grasping place value. Students are encouraged to work out and write numbers on number lines that have different starting and ending points. This activity requires them to identify intervals and use clues from the number lines to make accurate estimations. Key vocabulary for the lesson includes 'place value' and 'number line'. Through a series of exercises with increasing complexity, children practice using number lines with intervals of tens, twenties, fifties, hundreds, and even twenty-fives. This hands-on approach not only reinforces their understanding of numerical intervals but also develops their problem-solving skills as they compare and contrast various number lines to discern similarities and differences.
