Place Value Activities KS2

KS2 Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 maths BUNDLE of printable games and puzzles worksheets for place value. Build number sense with fun activities. The dice games features 4, 5, 6 and 7 digit numbers (thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands, millions) and decimals to 1, 2 and 3 places (tenths, hundredths, thousandths). The puzzles feature 5, 6 and 7 digit numbers. Great for starters, early finisher tasks, extension challenges and homework. All in PDF format. Includes:

• 17 fun, challenging and strategic games
• 7 hidden word puzzles
• Great for differentiation within the same class or for different year groups

 
PLACE VALUE GAMES:

• Use as printed worksheets or else laminate (or use in dry-wipe sleeves) and complete with whiteboard pens
• Instead of playing in pairs, you might form small groups - pairs could play against pairs instead of one-versus-one and you might appoint a checker who can adjudicate (and then swap roles for the next game). Consider enlarging to A3 for larger groups.
• There is a mixture of Make the Biggest Number, Make the Smallest Number and Greater or Less Than games

 
Every turn, players can place the digit they throw on any row or column, until there are no vacant boxes remaining, prolonging the uncertainty! Keeping an eye on each other’s numbers as they form, players will begin to spot new tactics; for instance they might notice that a 1 placed in a thousands place might not be so costly if there’s a 9 in the ten thousands place, depending on what their opponent is doing on their grid. They can also practise saying their completed numbers aloud at the end.

 
If you don’t have a 0-9 dice, the games still work with a 1-6 dice. Alternatively:

• Use 0-9 spinners (I have included black and white and colour templates for your convenience) if you wish to make some
• Use digit cards (basic digit cards included in the file)
• Use a pack of playing cards (use Aces as 1 and Jacks as 0, put aside the Kings and Queens; shuffle the pack and take one card in turn)

 
Instructions are printed on the boards.

 
PLACE VALUE CROSS NUMBER PUZZLES:

• 2 for numbers up to ten thousands
• 2 for numbers up to hundred thousands
• 2 for numbers up to millions
• Differentiation: For each of 5, 6 and 7-digit numbers the first puzzle is for practising reading the word version and writing the digit version in the grid, while the second, more challenging puzzle for each involves adding and subtracting from large numbers (increase by 1000, take away five hundred thousand etc)
• Works in a similar way to a crossword puzzles but with numbers entered into the grid
