Place Value Peg Cards – Tens and Ones | 60 Differentiated Maths Cards

Place Value Peg Cards – Tens and Ones

Make learning tens and ones fun, practical and engaging with this set of 60 differentiated place value peg cards, perfect for Reception, Year 1 and KS1 maths activities.

Children look carefully at the green tens rods and yellow ones cubes, work out the number shown, and place a peg on the correct answer.

But there’s a little more to these cards than simply counting!

The three answer choices have been carefully designed to help identify common place value misconceptions. Rather than using random incorrect answers, the cards include purposeful distractors that challenge children to think about:

• Reversing digits (e.g. 46 and 64)
• Counting one more or one less
• Confusing the number of tens and ones
• Understanding numbers with zero ones

This makes the cards useful not only for independent practice, but also for spotting where children might need additional support.
