💡 How to Use This Worksheet

This worksheet is designed to be used as a consolidation activity after introducing Year 3 students to reading and writing numbers up to 1000. It can be used in class as independent practice, as a homework assignment, or as a quick assessment tool. For students who are struggling, provide concrete materials such as base ten blocks to help them visualise the numbers. Encourage them to say the number aloud before writing it. For students who are confident, challenge them to write their own numbers in numerals and words, then swap with a partner to check. A common mistake to watch out for is students confusing the order of digits, especially when writing numbers like 314 (three hundred and fourteen). Extension activities could include asking students to order a set of numbers written in words or numerals, or to identify the value of each digit in a given number.
