Support your students in building strong number sense with the Place Value Vocabulary resource. These clear, curriculum-aligned posters help students understand both the names of each place and the value of digits within a number - making abstract maths concepts more concrete and visual.

Each poster breaks down place value language, showing how numbers are made up of digits in the ones, tens, hundreds, or thousands places. Students can explore the difference between digit value and place by writing their own numbers onto the reusable templates using whiteboard markers.

The Place Value Vocabulary posters are perfect for class displays, maths groups, or independent stations. Whether you are introducing place value or revisiting it during numeracy blocks, these visual tools provide ongoing reference and reinforcement in an accessible format for early learners.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Understand the vocabulary of place value and digit value
• ✅ Identify the value of digits based on their place in a number
• ✅ Practise applying vocabulary to interpret and explain numbers
• ✅ Reinforce number structure in ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands
• ✅ Support learning through visual reference and hands-on writing

What’s Included:

• Place value vocabulary posters (ones, tens, hundreds, thousands)
• Interactive templates for writing numbers with whiteboard markers
• Display versions for class walls or learning stations
• Clear examples for each digit position
• Teacher tips and usage suggestions

Materials Needed:

• Printed posters (preferably on A3 for visibility)
• Laminator for reusability
• Whiteboard markers and erasers
• Blu Tack or magnetic strips for display options
• Plastic sleeves or pockets for small-group use

How to Use:

1. Print and laminate the place value vocabulary posters.
2. Introduce students to each place value term (ones, tens, hundreds, thousands) using visual examples.
3. Model how to write a number on the laminated template using a whiteboard marker.
4. Ask students to identify each digit’s value and explain their reasoning using vocabulary terms.
5. Rotate through small groups or independent stations for practice with various numbers.
6. Encourage students to quiz one another using the posters as guides.

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Display posters near your maths working wall for quick student reference.
• 💡 Use in small group rotations with dry-erase markers to build fluency and understanding.
• 💡 Pair students to challenge each other by writing mystery numbers and identifying digit values.
• 💡 Incorporate into warm-ups by having a student write a number each morning for the class to break down.
• 💡 Include in a numeracy toolkit for fast finishers or support groups needing repeated exposure to place value terms.

Top Teacher Tips:

• 💛 Laminate all posters to make them reusable year-round with whiteboard markers.
• 💛 Print at a larger scale for visibility during whole-class teaching moments.
• 💛 Keep a few posters at each table group so students can access vocabulary support during independent work.

The Place Value Vocabulary posters are a must-have visual resource for building foundational number skills, encouraging mathematical language, and helping students make confident, accurate connections between digits and their values.
