Teaching and follow-up ideas
- Ask pupils to explain the instruction in their own words before they begin.
- Use one completed item as a model, then hide it so learners retrieve the method or vocabulary.
- Pair pupils to compare answers and identify the evidence or clue that supports each choice.
- Return to the place value worksheet in a later session as a short retrieval activity.
Support and challenge
Support: Model one example with concrete objects, a number line or place-value equipment before the pupil completes a smaller set independently.
Challenge: Ask the pupil to explain a general rule, create a new example and prove the answer using a second representation.
Where this resource fits in learning
Use the worksheet after the relevant vocabulary, concept or correspondence has been introduced. Keep the first attempt supported, then revisit selected items so pupils retrieve rather than simply copy. The National curriculum mathematics programmes of study provides the wider statutory or teaching context for planning an appropriate sequence.
