Numeracy Workshop- Place Value
November 2012
Instructions- Place Value
Appendix 1- Hundreds Chart
This chart could be used in many ways. Children could identify
patterns in the times tables.
Extension challenges:
 What happens when 10 is added to a number?
 Place a counter on a number. Can you identify the nearest 10?
Appendix 2- Blank Hundreds Chart
This chart could be used to help the children’s understanding of
numbers up to 100 by placing the correct numbers in the right boxes.
Extension challenges:
 Place a counter anywhere on the square, how quickly can you
work out which number belongs there?
 Once the number has been correctly guessed, can you identify
the number to the left, right, above and below?
Appendix 3- Place Value Chart
This place value chart is really good to assess the children’s
understanding of multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 or 1000.
Children could place number cards or numbers in the correct
columns and then physically move the cards the appropriate number
of columns to the left (if multiplying) or to the right (when dividing)
according to the calculation.
Appendix 4 – Arrow cards/Partitioning cards
These cards can be cut up and used to compose different numbers.
The children can be questioned to assess their understanding of the

value of each number. Eg 372 is composed of 3 hundreds, 7 tens and
2 units (300+70+2).
Extension challenges
Can you answer the following questions and explain your reasons?
 What is 10 more than this number?
 Which column is changing?
 What number would this number be rounded to if you rounded
it to the next 100?
 What is the next odd umber after this number?
Appendix 5- Visual representation sheet
These are picture representations of units, tens and hundreds. They
can be used when children are adding numbers by cutting out the
appropriate number of hundreds, tens and units for any chosen
number eg 27. Choose another number and repeat the process. The
children can then see in pictures what they are adding and so
calculate the total more easily.
