What is Place Value?


How Do You Partition Numbers?


In maths, numbers have a place value. This can be units, tens, hundreds, thousands etc. A number can be broken down (partitioned) to show the value of each digit in the number, e.g. 429 = 400 + 20 + 9. Therefore the number 429 is made up of 4 hundreds, 2 tens and 9 units.


Place Value (knowing what each digit in a number is worth), plays an important part in KS1 maths and KS2 maths.


Regular use of place value cards will help children understand the number system, and aid the learning of addition and subtraction. Being able to partition numbers helps children add and take away numbers mentally and using written methods.


Primary schools teach place value and partitioning on an ongoing basis throughout the year.


A child confident with the place value of numbers will be able to calculate and solve problems quickly and easily.

"Amazing site just renewed my subscription for the second year. This site is well structured and has helped to assure me that the work we do at home co-ordinates and strengthens the work done at school."

Reena Chohan

"Teach My Kids is a fantastic resource. We use the work sheets to reinforce the Maths and English that our children, James 9 and Katie 8, are learning at school. They are ideal for when we have a spare 10 – 15 minutes, and also give us as parents the opportunity to see how much our kids know!

As and when the work sheets are completed, I log in and tick them as completed, so it’s clear which topics have been covered. I try to do 2 - 4 of worksheets a week and feel that they are of great benefit to both our children.

I would definitely recommend ‘Teach My Kids’, it’s fantastic value for money and if you have any questions or queries these are answered promptly."
