Place Value

A good understanding of place value (the value of each digit in a number) is vital in primary-school maths. Place value is the value of each digit in a number. It means understanding that 582 is made up of 500, 80 and 2, rather than 5, 8 and 2.

You can use coins to support your child's understanding of 2-digit numbers and place value. You will need some 10p coins and some 1p coins.

1) Give your child a handful of coins and ask them to add them up and tell you the amount - count the tens first and then the ones. For example (image below) - 10, 20, 30, 40 - 40 plus 1 - 41.

2) Write a 2-digit number for your child and ask them to make the amount using 10p and 1p coins.

Counting in 2s and 10s

Practice counting in 2s and 10s. Can your child recite the numbers in 2s to at least 20 and in 10s to 100?
