We’ve been making good use of our place value grids this week in Year 4. They are especially useful in helping children understand what happens to the digits in a number when we multiply and divide by 10 and 100. 

The children were presented with a number of problems involving dividing by 10 and they used their grids to move all the digits one place to the right. This practical method of moving digits prepares the children to visualise doing this to find the answer later on in their school journey.
