Fascinating Fact:

Tens and ones plan. Read the digits first. 47 is 4 tens and 7 ones. Now choose a method.

In KS1 Maths, pupils use place value to plan how to solve problems. They read tens and ones, choose a sensible method, and show working with counters, drawings, or number lines.

Key Terms

  • Place value: What a digit is worth because of where it sits, such as tens or ones.
  • Tens and ones: A two digit number split into groups of ten and single ones.
  • Strategy: A step by step plan for solving a problem, such as draw, partition, then add.

Practise problem solving with the Numeracy Game to build quick, confident place value skills.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How do I use place value to solve word problems in KS1?

Read the numbers and say the tens and ones. Choose a method, for example draw tens and ones or partition into 40 + 7. Solve it, then check if the answer is sensible.

What models help with place value problem solving?

Use Dienes blocks, place value counters, or quick stick and dot drawings. A number line helps when you need to count on, count back, or make tidy tens.

How can I check my answer is reasonable?

Estimate first using tidy tens, such as 47 is about 50. After solving, compare your answer with the estimate and re count tens and ones to confirm.
