Free maths practice app

Place value practice app

A fast classroom-ready practice app for digit values, partitioning, MAB blocks, place value houses and decimals.

Digit values

Students identify the value of a highlighted digit across ones, tens, hundreds, thousands and beyond.

Partitioning

Questions connect whole numbers to expanded parts so students can see how each place contributes.

MAB blocks

Base-ten block tasks help students move between concrete models, digits and written answers.

Decimals

Decimal tasks extend the same place-value thinking into tenths and hundredths.

What students practise

The app mixes common place-value representations so students do not only memorise one question style.

  • finding the value of a highlighted digit
  • partitioning numbers into place-value parts
  • reading MAB or base-ten block models
  • working with place-value houses
  • answering selected decimal place-value questions

How it fits a lesson

Use it as a short warm-up, an iPad station, a small-group check, or quick home practice after an explicit lesson.

  • open the app directly on the student device
  • choose the task type and largest place that matches the lesson
  • let students answer a few questions, then discuss the representation that caused the most mistakes

Why it helps

Place value is easier to retain when students switch between digits, words, expanded parts and models. The app keeps that practice quick enough for a normal classroom routine.

  • keeps practice focused on one maths idea at a time
  • uses large, simple controls for young learners
  • supports quick teacher checks without creating a separate assignment flow

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the place value app free?

Yes. Students can open the app and practise without signing in.

Does it replace explicit teaching?

No. It is designed for practice after modelling, guided work, or a short teacher explanation.

Can students use it on an iPad?

Yes. The app is designed to work in a browser on tablets, laptops and classroom screens.

What year levels is it for?

It is most useful for primary students learning whole-number place value, with some decimal practice for extension.
