About this deal
This does little to help pupils’ conceptual understanding of what the symbols mean. It makes far more conceptual sense that on a horizontal number line > points towards the greater numbers and < points towards the numbers that are smaller. This is a good opportunity to introduce the additive inverse property to pupils. When you add a number to the same negative value e.g. 1 + (-1), you will always make zero, and this is known as a zero pair. Third Space Learning has also produced a simple guide to place value for children! Teaching place value at KS2: the basics Or you could use this amazing Number Bonds of 10 Activity Booklet, which features a whole range of exciting exercises to bring your maths lessons to life. There's something here for everyone!

The same would be repeated for subtraction and modelled consistently with pupils having the opportunity to try this. By the end, they will be able to see that taking a positive number away from a positive number decreases the number and gets it closer to zero, and subtracting a negative counter increases the value of the number as it makes it closer to zero. Go through many examples with pupils using the ‘I do, we do, you do’ approach to ensure that students are able to perform what it is you are asking them to do. Once you are confident that students can do two-digit numbers, repeat the process but with three-digit numbers. When the same digit is put in a different column on a place value grid, the value changes. E.g. in the number 4,532 the 4 digit is worth a 4 thousands, whereas in 3,20 4 the 4 digit has a value of 4 ones. Use this handy Double-Sided Counters: Number Bonds of 10 Worksheet as a fun and engaging activity to support children with counting to 10, and show how the number 10 can be composed in different ways.If a smaller value comes before a larger value, then the smaller value is subtracted from the larger value e.g. XC = 90. This could be reinforced using consistent phrases and language such as ten away from one hundred. The Year 4 pupils would be expected to work out the number from the visual representation before using the correct symbol to show the relationship between the two values. Dienes representing 451 and then 251 For example, your class could be expected to write the following in Roman numerals. Place value counters showing 485 Rather, the numbers that students are expected to master increases and the comparisons between the numbers become more sophisticated. Units or ones: what’s the difference?

It is also important that you reverse the process. Instead of only asking students to represent a number with the dienes, show dienes and ask students to explain which digit is being represented, the value of that digit and then the number that the digits represent.I would then ask how many I would have if I added one more counter and physically bring one more counter to the set. Place value counters and grids, on the other hand, are less concrete in that there is no physical difference between the counters, so the conceptual understanding developed with dienes must lead into using them for understanding to be transferred. Place value counters on a place value chart Read Roman numerals to 100 (I to C) and know that over time, the numeral system changed to include the concept of 0 and place value;
