Free Place Value Worksheets Year 1 - The Mum Educates - Free Printable

You're right — the image you uploaded is a preview of Year 1 FREE Place Value Worksheets from “Milm Educates.” It shows four different place value activities, each designed to help young learners understand numbers up to 20 (and beyond) using concepts like tens and ones, base-10 blocks, number words, and expanded form.

Since you asked to “solve the problem and explain the solution,” I’ll walk through each worksheet section and provide the correct answers with explanations. This will help you or your child complete them correctly.

## 🍎 Worksheet 1: Missing Numbers to 20

Goal: Fill in missing numbers in a sequence from 1 to 20.

The apples are arranged in rows. Let’s fill in the blanks:

```
Row 1: 1, [2], 3
Row 2: [4], 5, [6]
Row 3: 7, [8], 9
Row 4: 10, [11], 12
Row 5: [13], 14, [15]
Row 6: 16, [17], 18
Row 7: [19], 20
```

✔ Completed Sequence:
```
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
10 11 12
13 14 15
16 17 18
19 20
```

> Explanation: This helps children recognize number order and count sequentially. They should fill in the gaps by counting forward from the previous number.

## 🍁 Worksheet 2: Autumn Leaves – Colour Code

Goal: Use colour code to colour leaves based on place value.

Colour Key:
- 2 in ones place → green
- 5 in ones place → red
- 1 in tens place → blue
- 4 in tens place → yellow

Let’s look at each leaf number and decide the colour:

| Number | Ones digit | Tens digit | Colour | Reason |
|--------|------------|------------|--------------|-------------------------------|
| 14 | 4 | 1 | Blue | 1 in tens place |
| 46 | 6 | 4 | Yellow | 4 in tens place |
| 19 | 9 | 1 | Blue | 1 in tens place |
| 25 | 5 | 2 | Red | 5 in ones place |
| 45 | 5 | 4 | Red & Yellow → But since only one colour per leaf, prioritize ones digit? Wait — check instructions.

⚠️ Important Note: The directions say “Use the colour code to colour the leaves.” It doesn’t specify priority if both apply. In most such worksheets, if a number matches multiple rules, you choose the first applicable rule listed — or sometimes it's designed so only one applies.

Let’s re-check:

- 14: tens=1 → blue ✔
- 46: tens=4 → yellow ✔
- 19: tens=1 → blue ✔
- 25: ones=5 → red ✔
- 55: ones=5 → red ✔
- 48: tens=4 → yellow ✔
- 40: tens=4 → yellow ✔
- 10: tens=1 → blue ✔
- 15: ones=5 → red ✔
- 34: tens=3 → no rule? ❗

Wait — 34 has 4 in ones place — but 4 in ones place is NOT listed! Only 2 or 5 in ones place are coded. So 34 might be uncoloured, or maybe it’s a trick?

Actually, looking again — the key says:

> “2 in ones place → green”
> “5 in ones place → red”
> “1 in tens place → blue”
> “4 in tens place → yellow”

So for 34:
- Tens = 3 → not 1 or 4 → no match
- Ones = 4 → not 2 or 5 → no match

➡️ Conclusion: 34 should remain uncoloured unless there’s an error in the worksheet design.

✔ Final Colouring Guide:
- 14 → Blue
- 46 → Yellow
- 19 → Blue
- 25 → Red
- 55 → Red
- 48 → Yellow
- 40 → Yellow
- 10 → Blue
- 15 → Red
- 34 → No colour

> Explanation: This activity reinforces identifying digits in the tens and ones places and applying rules based on their position.

## 🔢 Worksheet 3: Number Fluency Table

Goal: Complete the table showing number, tens and ones, ten frame, part-whole model, and word form.

Let’s fill in the blanks row by row.

---

Row 1: Already filled — 15 = 1 ten + 5 ones → "fifteen"

---

Row 2: “5 ones” → So number is 5

- Number: 5
- Tens and ones: 0 tens, 5 ones
- Ten frame: 5 dots in one frame (top row full)
- Part whole model: circle split into 0 and 5
- Words: five

---

Row 3: Dots show 8 dots → So number is 8

- Number: 8
- Tens and ones: 0 tens, 8 ones
- Ten frame: 8 dots (top row full, bottom row 3 dots)
- Part whole model: 0 and 8
- Words: eight

---

Row 4: Word = “seven” → Number = 7

- Number: 7
- Tens and ones: 0 tens, 7 ones
- Ten frame: 7 dots (top row full, bottom row 2 dots)
- Part whole model: 0 and 7
- Words: seven ✔

---

Row 5: Number = 10

- Tens and ones: 1 ten, 0 ones
- Ten frame: 10 dots (full frame)
- Part whole model: 10 and 0 (or just 10 if not split)
- Words: ten

---

Row 6: “2 tens, 0 ones” → Number = 20

- Number: 20
- Tens and ones: 2 tens, 0 ones
- Ten frame: two full frames (or one frame with 10 and another with 10)
- Part whole model: 10 and 10 → total 20
- Words: twenty

---

Row 7: Number = 18

- Tens and ones: 1 ten, 8 ones
- Ten frame: one full frame + 8 dots in second frame
- Part whole model: 10 and 8
- Words: eighteen

---

✔ Completed Table Summary:

| Number | Tens and ones | Ten Frame | Part Whole Model | Words |
|--------|----------------|------------------|------------------|-----------|
| 15 | 1 ten, 5 ones | 10 + 5 | 10 + 5 | fifteen |
| 5 | 0 tens, 5 ones | 5 dots | 0 + 5 | five |
| 8 | 0 tens, 8 ones | 8 dots | 0 + 8 | eight |
| 7 | 0 tens, 7 ones | 7 dots | 0 + 7 | seven |
| 10 | 1 ten, 0 ones | 10 dots | 10 + 0 | ten |
| 20 | 2 tens, 0 ones | 20 dots (2 frames)| 10 + 10 | twenty |
| 18 | 1 ten, 8 ones | 10 + 8 | 10 + 8 | eighteen |

> Explanation: This builds fluency between numeric, visual (ten frames), part-whole, and word forms of numbers — crucial for early math understanding.

## 🧱 Worksheet 4: Base 10 Blocks

Goal: Count base 10 blocks (longs = 10, cubes = 1) and write the number.

Let’s interpret each set:

1. Top left: 1 long (10) + 2 cubes → 12
2. Top middle: 2 longs → 20
3. Top right: 1 long + 0 cubes → 10
4. Middle left: 3 longs + 5 cubes → 35
5. Middle right: 2 longs + 4 cubes → 24
6. Bottom left: 2 longs + 1 cube → 21
7. Bottom middle: 1 long + 5 cubes → 15
8. Bottom right: 8 cubes → 8

✔ Answers:
- 12, 20, 10, 35, 24, 21, 15, 8

> Explanation: Helps students visualize numbers as groups of tens and leftover ones — foundational for addition, subtraction, and later multiplication.

## ✏️ Worksheet 5: Trace, Show and Expand

Goal: For each number, trace it, show it in a tens/ones grid, draw a picture, and write expanded form.

Example given: 12 → 10 + 2 = 12

Let’s do the rest:

---

5

- Trace: 5
- Grid: 0 tens, 5 ones → 5 dots in “Ones” box
- Picture: Draw 5 objects (e.g., stars, apples)
- Expand: 0 + 5 = 5 or just 5 = 5 (since no tens)

> *Note: Sometimes 5 is written as 0 tens + 5 ones → 0 + 5 = 5*

---

24

- Trace: 24
- Grid: 2 tens, 4 ones → 2 full tens boxes, 4 dots in ones
- Picture: 2 bundles of 10 sticks + 4 single sticks
- Expand: 20 + 4 = 24

---

16

- Trace: 16
- Grid: 1 ten, 6 ones
- Picture: 1 bundle of 10 + 6 singles
- Expand: 10 + 6 = 16

---

32

- Trace: 32
- Grid: 3 tens, 2 ones
- Picture: 3 bundles of 10 + 2 singles
- Expand: 30 + 2 = 32

✔ Completed Table:

| Number | Tens | Ones | Expand Form |
|--------|------|------|------------------|
| 12 | 1 | 2 | 10 + 2 = 12 |
| 5 | 0 | 5 | 0 + 5 = 5 |
| 24 | 2 | 4 | 20 + 4 = 24 |
| 16 | 1 | 6 | 10 + 6 = 16 |
| 32 | 3 | 2 | 30 + 2 = 32 |

> Explanation: Reinforces decomposing numbers into tens and ones — essential for understanding place value and later arithmetic.
