We also have created more durable printed maths place value tables with decimals that are made from natural rubber ( our plavalmat® range) that have can be used with our place value counters in KS2. In Year 3, children continue to become more fluent in place value, focusing on 3-digit numbers ( Hundreds, Tens and Ones). If you want to compare the features of our place value counters with others currently available, you might find this article interesting: 'WHAT ARE THE BEST PLACE VALUE COUNTERS FOR CHILDREN?' Use this handy Double-Sided Counters: Composition of 10 Worksheet as a great activity to support children to begin to recognise number bonds to 10. Great mastery resource for using manipulatives and double sided counters. Thank you for producing and sharing this.

Every week Third Space Learning’s maths specialist tutors support thousands of pupils across hundreds of schools with weekly online 1-to-1 lessons and maths interventions designed to plug gaps and boost progress. This allows for constant repetition of this area of mathematics without devoting much more dedicated curriculum time to it. Place value problem solving and reasoning Year 5
