Applications and Experiments for the Place Value Cards Model
Place value cards can be 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, with the same numbers shown in beads on an Abacus Desk Table.
- Expanded form: separating a number such as 345 into 300 + 40 + 5.
- Zero as placeholder: showing the difference between 305 and 35.
- Comparison: rolling Dice to choose digits, building two numbers and ordering them by looking at the highest place first.

A teacher can build a number from the cards, then separate them to show each place value; pupils repeat the steps and write the number in standard and expanded form.
