Applications and Experiments for the Place Value Cards Model
Place value cards are used to construct numbers, split them into expanded form, compare larger and smaller numbers, and show what happens when a zero holds an empty place. They support primary place value and number chapters, CBSE maths lab activities on numeration, and remedial work with pupils who reverse digits.
- Classes 1–3: forming two- and three-digit numbers from tens and ones.
- Expanded form: separating a number such as 345 into 300 + 40 + 5.
- Zero as placeholder: showing the difference between 305 and 35.
- Comparison: ordering numbers by looking at the highest place first.
Standard Scope of Supply
Supply consists of one Place Value Cards Model set, as described above. The number of cards, the values printed and any storage box are not listed, so the quotation sets out exactly what the set includes. Optional extras, if you need them, appear as separate lines.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
