Place Value Mat 3dp (coloured)

The Place Value Mat is a vividly coloured educational resource, designed to help Key Stage 2 students understand and visualise the concept of place value up to three decimal places. It clearly separates and labels each column with the respective place value from thousands to thousandths. This includes the 1,000s column for thousands, the 100s column for hundreds, the 10s column for tens, the 1s column for ones, and then extends into decimal places with the 0.1 column for tenths, the 0.01 column for hundredths, and the 0.001 column for thousandths. Each section is distinctly coloured to aid in differentiation and to assist students in recognising the value and position of digits within a number.

The Place Value Mat serves as a practical tool for students to practice and consolidate their understanding of numerical value and decimal placement. It can be used for a variety of mathematical activities, including reading, writing, and comparing numbers, as well as performing operations that require an understanding of place value such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of decimals. The mat's clear layout and colour coding make it an accessible aid for learners to grasp complex concepts, ensuring that they can confidently work with numbers into the thousandths and appreciate the significance of each digit's position.
