Place Value Activity 5 Digit Numbers

Key Stage 2 (KS2) place value printable activities for numbers up to 5 digits to develop understanding of place value, while practising mental maths. There are 56 self-checking maths trails (36 more challenging trails and an additional 20 trails for lower ability or less experienced learners) to make into reusable activity boards or simply print as worksheets (versions also included without the final answer). Ideal as main lesson tasks, starters, early finishers, home learning, homework and revision. PDF format. Ideal for Year 4 or Year 5 (Y4 / Y5) - or Primary 5 or 6 in Scotland.

• A fun activity that can be used as a competitive game or an individual challenge
• Differentiation: In addition to there being 2 different levels here, the last 6 trails in the main set (trails 31-36) are a little less challenging than the first 30 but a little more challenging than the lower ability set
• Print as many A4 boards as you require (printing on card recommended), laminate for regular use and have students complete trails with whiteboard pens
• Consider printing and/or laminating back-to-back to save resources
• A5 worksheet versions of the trails (two trails per A4 page) are included with the answer removed, which you might want to use for classwork or homework without laminating
• Separate final answer key versions included (for use with worksheet versions)
• Full answer versions also included for speedy checking by student or teacher if required
• Alternatively students could use a calculator to help them see where they have gone wrong.
• Students love using these trails, fixing any errors for themselves. They could work in pairs or individually and choose whether to time themselves or race against their friends.

 
How do they work? The trails each feature 12 addition and subtraction calculations (or 8 in the lower ability set) to consolidate place value. A start and end number are printed on each card, so students can work from left to right down the rows, adding and subtracting different size numbers, until they reach the end, where they can check if they arrived at the correct final number.

 
These trails are available alongside other place value games and activities for large numbers and decimal numbers in a popular bundle:
