Teaching Place Value to 20 with Year 1 KS1 Maths Activities

The National Curriculum for Year 1 Number and Place Value requires children to count, read, and write numbers to 100 and recognise the value of each digit. This Place Value to 20 resource bridges the gap between single-digit and two-digit numbers, giving children the secure understanding they need to progress. Ideal for whole-class teaching, guided groups, and independent consolidation.
