Place value teacher instructions

The comprehensive booklet provided by KS2Gems for Year 3 teachers is a valuable resource for teaching Place Value objectives. Each activity within the booklet is tailored to meet specific educational goals, which are clearly stated at the start of each page. To facilitate the lesson, a detailed list of necessary equipment and resources is included with each activity. The booklet is designed to be flexible and adaptable to the unique requirements of each class, with symbols indicating whether an activity is best suited for the whole class, small groups, or pairs.

Teachers have the freedom to incorporate these activities at various points in their lessons. They can be used at the START of a lesson to review or assess prior knowledge, in the MAIN part of the lesson as the central focus to reinforce new concepts, or towards the END to evaluate students' progress. These activities are intended to complement and enhance the existing educational materials in schools. They are particularly beneficial for children in intervention groups who may need additional practice. The KS2Gems website also offers a range of other suitable resources, including target boards, loop cards, digit cards, arrow cards, mats, vocabulary aids, quizzes, counters, Cuisenaire Rod images, counters for place value, and part-whole templates, all designed to support and enrich the teaching of Place Value.
