Maths.....Place Value

This week we will be using Place Value Blocks learning object. This enables us to represent numbers up to 999 using place value material. Ask your child to read numbers up to 999, for example letter box numbers, 3 digit licence plates, numbers in the newspaper.

You may want to use the idea below to reinforce place value knowledge with your child. 

You will need a piece of paper, a dice, jellybeans or even pebbles for counting. It is a fun activity to get the children to recognise how many ones and tens there are in numbers. 

Once they have mastered this, try 3 digit numbers. Have fun!
