Year 1 Place Value Worksheets

These Year 1 place value worksheets help children understand that numbers are made from tens and ones. Place value is one of the most important KS1 maths foundations because it supports counting, comparing numbers, ordering numbers, addition, subtraction and working with numbers to 100.

Children can use these worksheets to practise reading two-digit numbers, recognising tens and ones, comparing numbers and understanding the value of each digit. The activities are designed to be clear and printable so they can be used for classroom learning, home practice or revision.

Place value helps children understand what numbers mean, not just how to count them. When children understand tens and ones, they can work more confidently with larger numbers and begin to solve addition and subtraction questions more efficiently.

Parents can use these worksheets at home to help children practise recognising tens and ones. Children can also use objects such as straws, counters or blocks to make the numbers practically before writing their answers.

Teachers can use place value worksheets during number lessons, small-group support, intervention sessions or revision. Once children understand place value, they are better prepared for comparing numbers, ordering numbers and addition and subtraction within 20 or 100.
