Place Value Numbers to 100,000 Foundation

In this worksheet, children explore numbers up to 100,000. They are introduced to the ten-thousands column in a place value chart and begin to understand the multiples of 10,000. This can be reinforced using a number line to 100,000.

Both place value counters and plain counters are used in place value charts, allowing for discussion about the values of the columns.

Watch for:

Children are likely to use “thousands” and “millions” in

everyday speech more often than “tens of thousands” or

“hundreds of thousands”, so they may miss out place value

columns in between.

Children may find numbers with several placeholders

difficult, for example 40,020

Children may need support in deciding when to use the

word “and” when saying numbers, for example 3,200 does

not use “and” but 3,020 does.
