MA3-RN-01, Place value and number properties

Stage 3 (Years 5 and 6) ยท Mathematics ยท Represents numbers

Applies place value and the role of zero to represent the properties of numbers.

MA3-RN-01 is an outcome from the NESA Mathematics K-10 Syllabus (2022), taught in NSW schools. Because Stage 3 spans Years 5 and 6, the worksheets below come from Year 5 and Year 6. Print them as PDFs, or generate a fresh one. Every maths answer key is computed in code, so it is never wrong.

Teaching guide

What students learn

Applies place value and the role of zero to represent the properties of numbers.

How to teach it

Build numbers with base-ten blocks or bundles of ten, then say the value of each digit ('the 3 is worth 30'). Expand numbers (300 + 40 + 2).

Worked example
What is the value of the digit 1 in 612877?
Answer: 10000

Generated and checked in code, so it is correct.

Watch out for

Reading a digit at face value regardless of its column, and dropping the zero as a place-holder (e.g. writing 32 for 302).
