Place value - Assessment

The Year 4 Number and Place Value Assessment is an essential tool for gauging students' understanding of numerical values and their positions within a number. One of the tasks requires students to identify the number 426 by circling it, reinforcing their comprehension of the hundreds, tens, and ones columns. Additionally, they must interpret a place value grid to determine the represented number, which involves recognising the value of digits in the thousands and hundreds places, as well as single units. To further test their knowledge, students complete part-whole diagrams that break down numbers into thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones, and they must also draw an arrow to indicate the number 3,999 on a number line, demonstrating their ability to identify numbers within a sequence.

Another section of the assessment challenges students to understand the specific value of the digit 3 in various numbers, distinguishing between ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands. They must also circle the equation that correctly represents the number 2,037, showcasing their ability to decompose numbers into their constituent parts. For a more creative exercise, students use digit cards to form an odd number between 5,000 and 6,000, which tests their ability to apply constraints to number formation. Moreover, they are tasked with solving a puzzle where they must deduce a four-digit number based on clues about the digits' relationships and their sum. The assessment concludes with sequencing tasks, inviting students to fill in missing numbers in a series, and a self-assessment where they rate their confidence in place value, encouraging self-reflection on their learning journey.
