3 Pictures of dienes blocks being used to create a 4 digit number. Suitable for higher attaining KS1 children, LKS2 or lower attaining UKS2 children to learn about place value. The first two numbers are made with the dienes blocks by increasing the 'thousands'. The third number is written but has not yet been made. Importantly, there is a list of suggestions of how to use this resource to stimulate ideas and discussion at the beginning/end of a lesson. These ideas can also be adapted for use with other numbers. The pictures could be printed out and placed on tables or blown up and viewed on a smartboard/screen.
