The place value progression outlines groups of numbers and important place value concepts within the decimal number system that learners need to understand in order to solve problems. The earliest step is based around the unit 10. At the highest step, learners understand the value of the position of any digit in a number including decimal numbers.

Most adults will be able to:

Activities

There is a gap at the first step of this progression because learners need to be able to count all objects before they can learn to count in tens.

10 as a counting unit, the tens in numbers to 100 and the place values of digits in whole numbers up to 100.

Learners know how many tens there are in numbers to 100 and can partition numbers up to 100 into tens and ones, for example:

6 tens are 60
34 = 30 + 4.

Introducing place value

Learners develop the understanding that our number system is based on the number 10.

Collapse

the tens and hundreds in numbers to 1,000 and the place values of digits in whole numbers up to 1,000.

Learners know how many tens and hundreds there are in numbers up to 1,000 and can partition numbers up to 1,000 into hundreds, tens and ones, for example:

there are 64 tens in 645 (and 5 ones remaining)
561 rounded to the nearest 10 is 560
456 = 400 + 50 + 6.

Whole number place value

Learners extend their understanding of place value by adding and subtracting 1, 10, 100 and 1,000 from whole numbers.

Introducing place value

Learners develop the understanding that our number system is based on the number 10.

how many tens, hundreds and thousands
there are in any whole number
that 10 tenths make one whole.

Learners know how many tens, hundreds and thousands there are in any
whole number and know that 10 tenths make one whole. For example:

there are 4,560 thousands in 4.56 million
there are 500 hundreds in 50,000
there are 20 tenths in 2.

Collapse

how many tenths, hundredths and thousandths are in any number, including decimal numbers
how to convert percentages to decimals and vice versa
what happens when a whole number or decimal is multiplied or divided by a power of 10.

Learners can order and convert between tenths, hundredths and thousandths. For example, a learner knows that:
