Place value is a great way for your students to understand the meaning of a number. When you need some quick resources to cover place value in your lessons, we’ve a number of Activities in our Maths module to help your class learn place value concepts.
We’ve been catching up with our Lead Producer, Duncan, who specialises in Maths, to ask him about his top 5 content pieces on place value for you to try out and dig into.
These Activities cover both Key Stage 1 and 2 levels and as always, feel free to use the search bar on EducationCity to find even more content on place value – there’s more to explore!
