These free place value chart templates give you 8 colour-coded Word documents: hundreds, tens and ones, thousands to ones, millions to ones and a chart with decimals to thousandths, on A4 or US Letter. I’m Patrick Elliott, a teacher and Inclusion Lead. Place value is where so many maths difficulties start, so I made charts from hundreds, tens and ones all the way to millions and decimals, with colours that match the way I teach it.
In this guide, you’ll find which place value chart suits which age, how to use one in lessons, and how to print the charts at full size.

Which Place Value Chart Should You Use?
- Hundreds, tens and ones: numbers to 999, for early place value and partitioning.
- Thousands: four-digit numbers and rounding to the nearest 10, 100 or 1,000.
- Millions: large numbers, grouped into millions, thousands and ones as they are read aloud.
- Decimals: tenths, hundredths and thousandths either side of the decimal point.
How to Use a Place Value Chart
- Write or place each digit of a number in its column, starting from the ones.
- Read the number aloud using the column names, for example 3 hundreds, 4 tens and 7 ones is 347.
- Multiply or divide by 10 by moving every digit one column left or right.
- Laminate a chart and use a dry-wipe pen to reuse it every lesson.
How to Print at the Right Size
Print in colour: each column has its own colour, which helps children keep digits in the right place.
