Place Value : Base 10 Builders

Base 10 Builders – Place Value Construction Activity

Put on your hard hats and get building! Base 10 Builders is a fun, hands-on place value activity where pupils become construction workers, using Base 10 blocks to build numbers and show the progress of their construction site.

Children use tens, ones, and hundreds to construct buildings that match the number cards provided. This visual and interactive approach helps pupils develop a deeper understanding of place value while staying fully engaged in the learning.

Perfect for KS1 and Lower KS2, the activity includes both 2-digit and 3-digit number cards, allowing you to easily differentiate and challenge pupils as their understanding grows.

What’s included:

• Colourful construction site building templates
• 2-digit number cards (ideal for KS1)
• 3-digit number cards (great for extending into Lower KS2)
• Print-and-go resources ready for classroom use

Perfect for:

• Place value lessons
• Maths centres / stations
• Small group work
• Independent learning
• Intervention groups
• Hands-on maths activities

Why teachers love it:
Encourages concrete understanding using Base 10
Highly engaging construction theme
Supports progression from 2-digit to 3-digit numbers
Low prep and easy to use

Children will love building their numbers brick by brick while strengthening their understanding of place value!

A creative way to construct confidence in maths.
