Place Value in IB PYP Grade 1 Mathematics
This page collects Place Value resources for IB PYP Grade 1 Mathematics, within Number. Learners at this emerging stage work on understanding that a digit’s place gives it value, reading numbers as tens and ones and showing numbers with blocks or drawings.
PYP learning is inquiry-based: children explore ideas through questions, play and real-life examples, so worksheets and games here are designed to be short, clear and encouraging.
What learners practise
- Understanding that a digit’s place gives it value
- Reading numbers as tens and ones
- Showing numbers with blocks or drawings
- Writing numbers in expanded form
For students
Work through the worksheets and interactive activities at your own pace. Check your answers, then redo anything that felt tricky and explain each answer in your own words.
For parents
Sit with your child for the first few questions and ask “how do you know?”. Praise effort and keep sessions short.
For teachers
Use place value activities as a starter, homework or retrieval practice, and mix free and premium resources to differentiate.
Show every step of your working, then check each answer by estimating first. Examiners reward clear reasoning as much as correct answers.
