Place Value Target Boards 2

The KS2Gems 2021 Place Value Target Boards for Year 6 are an engaging educational resource aimed at helping students master key mathematical concepts related to place value. The main objectives of these boards are to enable students to determine the value of each digit in numbers up to at least 10,000,000, to compare and order these numbers, and to round any whole number to a required degree of accuracy. These target boards are versatile tools that can be used to initiate or conclude a lesson, and are particularly effective for retrieval practice. They can be displayed to the entire class or used in smaller group settings, with children equipped with whiteboards and pens for interactive learning.

Each Target Board presents a variety of numbers for students to work with, and the teacher can direct the class with specific tasks such as identifying numbers with a ten thousands digit greater than 8, arranging numbers in ascending order, or rounding numbers to the nearest 10,000. This method provides a dynamic way to challenge different ability groups simultaneously by tailoring instructions to each group's level. The boards not only reinforce understanding of place value but also encourage the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills as students engage with the numbers and criteria set before them.
