Place Value to 1000
Solve number problems and practical problems involving place value of numbers up to 1000
Lesson
Set out your lesson
“Place Value to 1000 means practising the idea at the table with counters or paper models and one clear check. We will demo once, then your child tries.”
Bring to the table
- Place-value cards or columns (hundreds/tens/ones)
- Digit cards 0–9
Extra for the adult
Worked example. In 243, the 2 means 2 hundreds, the 4 means 4 tens, the 3 means 3 ones.
Optional challenge. For Place Value to 1000, add one harder example after success.
What to notice. Keep one parent note: examples tried; results; support used. This session samples Place Value to 1000, not mastery.

Place Value to 1000 means practising the idea at the table with counters or paper models and one clear check. We will demo once, then your child tries.
Materials: Place-value cards or columns (hundreds/tens/ones); Digit cards 0–9. Adult builds 243 and names hundreds, tens, ones. Child builds three numbers and names each place. Done: three numbers built with correct place names. Stop after the fresh check; keep optional challenge for another day.

Ordering 3-digit numbers

Ordering 3-digit numbers supports place value to 1000. Not every decimal comparison.
Free, no sign-in. A teacher solution is on the same page, so use the student view with your child.
Before you openAsk the learner to order three 3-digit numbers and say which place decided the order.

Source, access and review notes
Public Illustrative Mathematics task page. The .html address responds HTTP 308 to this URL. An anonymous GET of this URL on 2026-11-12 returned HTTP 200 with no login or payment prompt. Where a teacher solution is present, it is on the same page as the student task; this check did not find a separate locked student view. An adult can use the student view section and should not read a solution aloud. Advertising was not observed in the fetched HTML text; that is not a browser, device, or ad-free guarantee. This is a paper or discussion task, not an automatically marked interactive game. Opening the link does not save practice or assess mastery. Diagrams on the page use missing or filename-only alt text, so they are not an accessible image equivalent. Accessibility still depends on an adult describing the picture.

Check understanding
- Solve a problem that requires identifying how many hundreds, tens, or ones are in a number
- Apply place-value knowledge to a practical context (e.g. counting money in pounds)
- Explain the strategy used to solve a place-value problem
“If your child is told 'I have 4 hundreds, 3 tens, and 7 ones — what number is that?', can they put it together and tell you 437?”
