Place Value Mat whole numbers (black & white)

The Place Value Mat for whole numbers is a helpful educational resource designed to assist Key Stage 2 students in understanding the concept of place value in large numbers. Presented in a clear, black and white format, this mat breaks down numbers into their constituent parts, ranging from millions to ones. Each column on the mat is labelled with the value it represents, such as 'Millions', 'Hundred thousands', 'Ten thousands', 'Thousands', 'Hundreds', 'Tens', and 'Ones'. These labels guide students in identifying the value of each digit in a multi-digit number.

For example, the mat lays out the place values in a descending order from left to right, starting with the highest value of '1,000,000' in the millions column and ending with the lowest value of '1' in the ones column. This visual representation is particularly useful for exercises involving large numbers, as it helps students to clearly see where each digit in a number should be placed. By using the Place Value Mat, students can practise writing numbers in their correct positions and gain a deeper understanding of the base-ten number system, which is fundamental to arithmetic and number comprehension.
