Summer Block 4: Place Value Within 100

Develop pupils’ understanding of larger numbers with this Year 1 place value within 100 block, aligned with the White Rose small steps and mapped to the Year 1 National Curriculum. Pupils build fluency counting, partitioning, comparing and ordering numbers to 100 using practical resources and visual models.

The lessons support pupils as they count forwards and backwards within 100, recognise patterns on a 100 square and partition numbers into tens and ones. Through structured small steps and mathematical discussion, pupils strengthen number understanding and prepare for Year 2 place value learning.

Week 8 small steps

  • Count to 100 by making tens
  • Count to 100
  • Count forwards and backwards within 100
  • Introduce the 100 square
  • Partition numbers

Week 9 small steps

  • Compare numbers
  • Order numbers
  • One more and one less

National Curriculum objectives

  • Count to and across 100, forwards and backwards, beginning with 0 or 1, or from any given number
  • Count, read and write numbers to 100 in numerals
  • Count in multiples of twos, fives and tens
  • Given a number, identify one more and one less
  • Identify and represent numbers using objects and pictorial representations including the number line, and use the language of equal to, more than, less than, fewer, most and least

Developing place value understanding within 100

This Year 1 place value within 100 block helps pupils strengthen number understanding through counting, partitioning and comparing numbers to 100. Practical resources and visual models support pupils as they recognise number patterns, work with tens and ones and build fluency with larger numbers.

Using number lines, manipulatives and a 100 square, pupils explore counting forwards and backwards, finding one more and one less, and comparing and ordering numbers confidently. The sequence encourages mathematical discussion and reasoning while helping pupils recognise patterns within the number system.
