TheSchoolRun.com closure date

As we informed you a few months ago, TheSchoolRun has had to make the difficult decision to close due to financial pressures and the company has now ceased trading. We had hoped to keep our content available through a partnership with another educational provider, but this provider has since withdrawn from the agreement.

As a result, we now have to permanently close TheSchoolRun.com. However, to give subscribers time to download any content they’d like to keep, we will keep the website open until 31st July 2025. After this date, the site will be taken down and there will be no further access to any resources. We strongly encourage you to download and save any resources you think you may want to use in the future.

In particular, we suggest downloading:

You should already have received 16 primary school eBooks (worth £108.84) to download and keep. If you haven’t received these, please contact us at [email protected] before 31st July 2025, and we will send them to you.

We are very sorry that there is no way to continue offering access to resources and sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.

Place value practice

Place value practice worksheet
Place value is one of the building blocks of primary maths education. Help your child practise identifying the value of each digit in a number with this teacher-created worksheet and boost their confidence with units, tens, hundreds, thousands and more.


Keystage:  KS2, Year 4, Year 5


What is place value and why is it taught at primary school? 

Place value is a fundamental concept in mathematics that helps us understand the numerical value of digits in a number based on their position (or place) within the number.

Each digit's place in a number determines its value relative to the other digits. 

Understanding place value helps children grasp the significance of each digit in a number and perform operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division more effectively. 

It's a crucial concept for building a strong foundation in mathematics.

What is an example of place value at KS2 level? 

Imagine the number 321.

  • The 3 is in the ones place. It represents 3 ones.
     
  • The 2 is in the tens place. It represents 2 tens, which is equivalent to 20.
     
  • The 1 is in the hundreds place. It represents 1 hundred, which is equivalent to 100.

So, when we combine these values together, we get the total value of the number:

3 ones + 2 tens + 1 hundred = 321

How will this KS2 place value worksheet help your child?

This place value worksheet, created by an experienced teacher, will help your primary school child identify the place value for units, tens, hundreds, thousands and more. It is a fun, colourful and engaging activity that will help reinforce lesson taught at school.
