💡 How to Use This Worksheet

This worksheet is designed to be used as a challenging extension activity for Year 3 students who have a good understanding of reading and writing numbers up to 1000. It can be used after initial teaching on place value and number representation. Differentiation can be achieved by providing place value charts or base ten blocks to support students who are struggling. Encourage students to show their working clearly. A common mistake to watch out for is students confusing the order of digits when writing numbers in words (e.g., writing 'four hundred and fifty' instead of 'four hundred and fifty'). To extend the activity, ask students to create their own number problems for their classmates to solve, or to research and write down large numbers they find in real-life contexts (e.g., populations of cities, distances between places).
