Fascinating Fact:

Ancient Babylonians used place value thousands of years ago, but their system was based on sixty, not ten, making their clocks and circles last forever.

In 11 Plus Maths, pupils study how digits gain or lose value depending on where they appear in a number. Understanding this is essential for reading, writing, and comparing large and decimal numbers.

Key Terms

  • Base Ten System: The numbering system we use today, where each position is worth ten times more than the one before.
  • Value: The amount a digit represents in a number, depending on its place.
  • Column: A vertical section in written numbers showing units, tens, hundreds, and so on.

Parents can learn more in our 11 Plus sample questions guide, which explains how place value and other maths skills appear in the exam.
