These printable place value counters for KS1 and KS2 are an ideal way to make place value concepts accessible and engaging for your students.

This downloadable resource offers a comprehensive set of place value counters. They will help pupils visualise numbers and understand the value of each digit in a number.

The resource includes large circular counters that span from 1,000,000 down to 0.001, covering every key unit (100,000, 10,000, 1,000, 100, 10, 1, 0.1, and 0.01).

Each page includes nine counters, making it easy to print the specific values you need for your lessons.

Additionally, we’ve provided large square counters (12 per page) and detailed illustrations of different amounts built from cubes.

Place value counters

These visuals are fantastic for helping children connect abstract numbers with physical representations. This is especially the case when they’re learning about grouping and partitioning.

Using place value counters is a powerful way to reinforce pupils’ understanding of number structure. With these resources, you can teach addition, subtraction, multiplication and division by allowing students to manipulate counters as they work through calculations.

This interactive approach can make challenging concepts, like decimals and larger numbers, feel more accessible and manageable for young learners.

Download our place value counters to give your students a hands-on tool that will support their confidence and understanding.

Ideal for both KS1 and KS2, this resource is ready to print. You can use it repeatedly, making it a valuable addition to your maths toolkit.
