Build confidence with number patterns and place value using 10 More, 10 Less: Numbers to 1,000. This worksheet set is designed to help students consolidate their understanding of number structure by exploring how digits change when we add or subtract ten. It’s the perfect way to reinforce mental maths and place value knowledge through repeated, structured practice.

Working within the range of numbers to 1,000, students apply their knowledge of hundreds, tens, and ones to complete each task. Whether they’re filling in missing numbers, identifying ten more or ten less, or using number lines, each activity is carefully crafted to encourage flexible number thinking. The clean layout and visual prompts support independent learning and make this a go-to resource for your early finishers, maths centres, or small group instruction.

10 More, 10 Less: Numbers to 1,000 includes a variety of worksheet templates that gradually increase in complexity. You can use the full set for differentiation or select specific sheets that match your students’ current learning needs. Want to extend the task? Ask students to colour odd and even numbers in different colours to reveal popsicle-style patterns-an excellent way to combine number facts with visual learning and critical thinking.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Practise identifying and calculating 10 more and 10 less within numbers to 1,000
• ✅ Strengthen understanding of place value in hundreds, tens, and ones
• ✅ Recognise number patterns and develop mental maths strategies
• ✅ Use structured grids to support visual understanding of number change
• ✅ Develop fluency in addition and subtraction of tens within larger numbers

What’s Included:

• A set of differentiated worksheet templates focusing on numbers to 1,000
• Activities include:
  • - 10 more and 10 less number grids
  • - Missing number fill-ins using addition and subtraction patterns
  • - Place value-based challenges to highlight digit change
• Bonus suggestion: use colour to identify odd and even number patterns

Materials Needed:

• Printed worksheet templates
• Pencils or coloured markers
• Optional: place value charts or number lines for scaffolded support

How to Use:

1. Select a worksheet aligned to your learning goals or group level.
2. Introduce or revise the concept of 10 more and 10 less using modelling.
3. Students complete number grids, either independently or in pairs.
4. Encourage pattern spotting, especially how the tens digit changes while the others remain stable.
5. Extend learning by incorporating colour coding or number puzzles based on the results.

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Include in your maths rotations for ongoing number fluency work.
• 💡 Use for quick start-of-day warm-ups or fast finisher tubs.
• 💡 Assign different versions to support targeted intervention or enrichment groups.
• 💡 Pair with a hundreds chart to support students needing extra visual prompts.
• 💡 Display completed grids as part of a pattern wall or number investigation station.

Top Teacher Tips:

• 💛 Print double-sided to minimise paper use while offering variety.
• 💛 Laminate for reusability in maths centres or early finisher rotations.
• 💛 Encourage students to verbalise their number strategies as they work to build maths language.
• 💛 Have students create their own 10 more/less grid challenges for peers to solve.
• 💛 Extend with the odd/even colouring activity to turn maths into an artful exploration of patterns.

10 More, 10 Less: Numbers to 1,000 is a flexible, hands-on resource that brings colour, clarity, and creativity to early place value exploration.
