Understanding Numbers Beyond 10 000: Place Value Assessment is a comprehensive resource designed to evaluate students’ knowledge of large number concepts and place value understanding. With a mix of structured tasks and word-based problems, this assessment offers a clear snapshot of each student’s ability to work with numbers beyond 10 000.

The tasks cover a wide range of place value skills, including identifying and representing numbers using place value charts and abacuses, renaming numbers in expanded and standard form, writing numbers as words, ordering numbers, finding number patterns, and solving real-world word problems. This variety ensures students can demonstrate their understanding through both concrete representations and abstract reasoning.

Whether used at the end of a unit, for formative diagnostic purposes or as part of reporting assessments, this resource is ideal for identifying strengths and areas for support in students’ understanding of place value beyond the thousands. Answer sheets and a detailed rubric are included to support efficient and consistent marking.
