Place value - Thousands, hundreds, tens and ones - Worksheet

The masterthecurriculum.co.uk worksheet on 'Thousands, hundreds, tens and ones' provides a thorough exploration of place value for students. Aimed at enhancing fluency and precision in understanding four-digit numbers, the lesson's objective is to recognise the place value of each digit within such numbers. To facilitate this, the lesson utilises differentiated sheets and teaching slides. Students are expected to represent numbers up to 9,999 using concrete resources and place value grids, grasping the concept that a four-digit number consists of thousands (1,000s), hundreds (100s), tens (10s), and ones (1s).

Throughout the lesson, key vocabulary such as 'place value', 'represent', 'strategy', and 'partition' is introduced. Engaging in activities with base ten and place value counters, children identify the place value of digits in numbers within 10,000 and practice partitioning these numbers. For deeper understanding, students may also cut out images and write partitioned versions in their books. To assess comprehension, the worksheet presents reasoning and problem-solving challenges where children spot the odd one out using pictorial images and investigate four-digit numbers that adhere to specific rules. This approach ensures that learners not only become proficient in identifying place values but also in applying this knowledge to solve complex problems.
