Place Value Numbers to 10,000 Foundation

Children encountered numbers up to 10,000 in Year 4. In this worksheet, they revise this learning in preparation for looking at numbers to 100,000 and then 1,000,000.

A variety of pictorial and concrete representations are used, including base 10, place value counters, place value charts and part-whole models.

The ability to use place value charts needs to be secure.

Ask,

"What is the value of each digit in the number?"

"Which digit or digits would change in value if you added 1 counter?"

"How do you write the number in words?"

Watch for:

Children may not yet have fully grasped placeholders, for example reading 602 as sixty-two.

Children may rely on the column method of addition and subtraction when this is not necessary.

Children may not use, or may misplace, the comma when writing numbers greater than or equal to 1,000.
