Four pages of Year 3 maths practice on place value. Pupils complete counting sequences in 4s, 8s, 50s and 100s, write the value of marked digits, compare numbers with the <, > and = symbols, and swap between numerals and words. Matched to the England National Curriculum place value objectives, with an answer sheet at the back.
