Brighten up your classroom while building numeracy confidence with our Place Value Posters Rainbow! Designed to help students grasp the concept of place value from millions to thousandths, this vibrant resource brings colour, clarity, and consistency to your maths wall. Whether used as an anchor chart, interactive display, or teaching aid, it’s perfect for creating a reference space your students can rely on.

Each poster supports your teaching of place value through clear labels and visual cues, helping students identify and understand the position and value of digits in large and decimal numbers. The combination of visual layout and colour-coded design makes this an ideal tool for supporting early numeracy and visual learners.

Place Value Posters Rainbow isn’t just a classroom display—it’s a hands-on learning resource that encourages students to engage with mathematical concepts independently and with confidence. Use it to model number patterns, support whole-class instruction, or provide scaffolded support for small group intervention.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Develop understanding of place value from millions to thousandths
• ✅ Recognise the value of digits in large and decimal numbers
• ✅ Support visual learners with colour-coded, structured displays
• ✅ Reinforce mathematical language through daily reference
• ✅ Promote independent and interactive number exploration

What’s Included:

• Individual posters for each of the following: millions, hundred thousands, ten thousands, thousands, hundreds, tens, ones
• Decimal place posters for: decimal, tenths, hundredths, thousandths
• Multiple rainbow-themed designs to suit your classroom aesthetic
• Printable options for full-page or smaller display sizes

Materials Needed:

• Printed place value posters (paper or card for durability)
• Blu-Tack or Velcro for display assembly
• Optional: number cards or sticky notes for student-generated numbers

How to Use:

1. Print and laminate the place value posters to suit your classroom size and layout.
2. Arrange the posters in order on a bulletin board, whiteboard, or dedicated maths wall.
3. Introduce each place value as part of your explicit teaching, using number examples.
4. Allow students to interact with the display by placing number cards or writing digits under each value.
5. Refer back to the display during number talks, group lessons, or individual support activities.

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Use it as a maths warm-up station where students build and break apart numbers daily.
• 💡 Pair it with base ten blocks or MAB manipulatives for concrete learning connections.
• 💡 Assign number-of-the-day activities that link directly to the place value display.
• 💡 Include student voice by allowing them to update the number values each week.
• 💡 Extend the display by attaching number words, expanded forms, or rounding examples.

Top Teacher Tips:

• 💛 Print in A4 or A3 depending on your wall space and student visibility needs.
• 💛 Laminate for long-term use and add Velcro dots so students can build their own numbers.
• 💛 Create a portable version on a tri-fold board for small group rotations.
