About this resource

If you want to give students extra practice with place value, I have just the resource for you.

What You Get:

This is a Place Value Graphic Organizer that is ideal for kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade students who have mastered place value or need additional review. It is a 2-page printable with space to complete 8 problems, but the first one is completed for students.

How To Implement This Resource:

You can print off enough copies of this worksheet for each student to have. You may also choose to print only a few copies and laminate those. If you choose to laminate them, students can use dry erase markers to write answers. This is a great way to turn this into a maths centre or small group activity.

It can be used during or after a place value lesson as a quick informal assessment to determine how well students have mastered the concept.

Students will write a number in the first column to begin. These can be numbers you have them choose from or they can come up with numbers all on their own. Then they can complete the remaining columns based on the number they chose to write down. The remaining columns consist of:

-- An abacus for students to represent the number

-- Base Ten for students to draw blocks representing the number

-- Students writing out the amount of each unit that represents the number

-- Sum and Total of the number

This worksheet can be completed independently. You may also choose to have students work together in partners or small groups to complete it.

I hope you enjoy!

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Represent a two-digit number using an abacus drawing and base-ten blocks

  • Break a number into its tens and units components

  • Write a number as a sum of its place values (e.g., 20 + 7 = 27)

Teaching tips

  • Laminate a few copies so students can complete rows with dry-erase markers and reuse the sheet across multiple students or lessons

  • Assign specific numbers for the first column, or let students choose their own, depending on whether independent or guided practice is needed

  • Use it as a quick informal check during or after a place-value lesson, since the worked first row already shows what a complete answer looks like

Skills covered

  • Place-value decomposition — students break a number such as 27 into 2 tens and 7 units across the HTU column.

  • Multiple representation — the same number is shown as an abacus drawing, base-ten blocks, and a written sum in one row.

  • Number-sentence writing — students record a place-value sum such as 20 + 7 = 27 in the Sum and Total column.

Good to know

What does the completed example row show?

The number 27 modeled four ways: an abacus drawing, base-ten blocks, an HTU breakdown of 2 tens and 7 units, and the written sum 20 + 7 = 27.
