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

The educational resource provides a comprehensive suite of activities focusing on the concept of place value, specifically targeting the understanding of thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones. The materials are designed to help students grasp how to form numbers correctly using these place value positions. In one of the activities, students are asked to complete sentences by filling in the blanks with the appropriate number of thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones to form a given number. This activity not only reinforces the concept of place value but also encourages students to verify their answers and consider what tools might aid them in the process.

Further activities delve deeper into the subject, with exercises such as writing down numbers represented by pictorial models, completing part-whole models for numbers, and understanding the value of underlined digits within numbers. Students are also prompted to represent numbers on a place value grid, which visualises the different values of digits based on their position. The resource includes reasoning challenges that require students to apply rules to create four-digit numbers, offering a more complex understanding of place value relationships. These activities are thoughtfully designed to build fluency, enhance reasoning skills, and encourage students to discuss the formation of numbers and the representation of zero within them.
