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to keep our content available through a partnership with another educational provider, but this provider has since withdrawn from the agreement.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:
- Learning packs
- All the worksheets from the 11+ programme, if you are following this with your child
- Complete Learning Journey programmes (the packs below include all 40 worksheets for each programme)
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.
Y2 place value: partitioning tens and units
Can you complete the chart using numbers and words for the tens and ones/units?
How to teach place value in KS1 (in a fun way!)
There are plenty of ways to teach place value to KS1 children at home that can be fun and engaging. Here are some ideas to get you started:
Play with building blocks
Activity
Use building blocks or LEGO to represent ones and tens.
How to do it
Stack ten single blocks to make a 'ten tower'. Use single blocks for ones. Ask your child to build different numbers, like 23 (two ten towers and three single blocks).
Make a number line
Activity
Create a number line using a long strip of paper and markers.
How to do it
Write numbers from 1 to 20 (or higher) on the strip. Use small objects like buttons or coins to place on the numbers.
Use snacks for counting
Activity
Use snacks like cereal pieces or grapes for counting and grouping.
How to do it
Group snacks into tens and ones. For example, to show the number 14, make one group of ten and four individual pieces. Let your child eat the snacks as a reward!
How will this KS1 place value activity help your child at home?
This fun KS1 place value activity was created by an experienced primary school teacher and will help your child practise their place value knowledge and identify areas that they may need some help with. They will need to complete the table and put the numbers in the correct column.
