What is a place value in maths?

Place value helps us identify the worth of each digit. We use it to understand if the value or worth of a digit is thousands, hundreds, tens or ones.

For instance, in 5426 the “5” is 5000, “4” is 400, “2” is 200 and “6” is ones.

What do children need to know about Place value in Year 1?

According to the national curriculum, Year 1 children are expected to:

1. Count and read numbers from 0 to 100.
2. More than, less than and equals to
3. Count in 2s, 5s and 10s
4.  Identify and represent numbers using objects and pictorial representations like numbers line, ten frames and base 10 blocks.

How to use these Place Value worksheets with your children?

Our amazing place value worksheets are great for teaching children the most important concept of maths and that is Place value. Place value is a basis for our entire number system. As children start to learn from counting objects they gradually move to tougher concepts of maths.

The four multiplication strategies that are introduced in KS1 are:

1. Repeated addition
2. Equal groups
3. Arrays
4. Number line.

Related: Multiplication – Times Table for ages 7 to 11

1. Multiplication as repeated addition:

Starting with something that children already know helps build confidence in children. The repeated addition strategy introduces kids to the idea of multiplication. Children find it easy to grasp as they have already mastered the concept of addition. In repeated addition, you add the same number again and again in order to find the answer to a multiplication problem.

Example:

2. Equal groups:

Another way to solve the multiplication problem is by making equal groups. To make Equal groups put the same number of objects in each group.

Example:

There are five groups with two flowers in each group.

3. Arrays:

So once children know repeated addition and equal groups, the next step is to introduce Arrays.  An array is an arrangement of objects in rows and columns. Each row holds the equal number of objects as the other rows in the array, as must the columns.

Example:

The example below shows 5 x 4=20.

4. Number Line:

Number lines are a fun way to teach multiplication. But to understand this concept, children must be fluent in counting ones forward and backwards. Once they are secure, they can skip count on the number line to find the answer.

Example:

Starting from zero, a frog hops 2cm four times.

Look out for real-life arrays:

Once the children learn all the strategies of multiplication ask them to find the real-life arrays around them.

Ask your children to write a multiplication sentence for the real-life pictures below.
