🔢 Place Value and Number Sense Practice
Number sense is knowing how big numbers are, how they compare, and what each digit is worth. Every other kind of math is built on it.
These topics start with counting and comparing in the early years, then grow into place value, skip counting, rounding, factors and multiples, the order of operations and negative numbers.
Topics, by the age they were designed for
- Age 5CountingHow many are there?
- Age 5What comes next?Before, after and between
- Age 5Bigger or smallerCompare two numbers
- Age 5More or fewerWhich group has more?

- Age 610 more, 10 lessJump by tens
- Age 6Tens and onesPlace value to 99
- Age 6Compare numbersGreater than, less than
- Age 6Skip countingBy 2s, 5s and 10s
- Age 7Place valueHundreds, tens and ones
- Age 7Compare numbersGreater than, less than
- Age 7Skip countingBy 2s, 5s, 10s and 100s
- Age 7Even or oddSort numbers
- Age 8RoundingTo the nearest 10 or 100
- Age 9Factors & multiplesWhat divides what?
- Age 9Rounding big numbersTens, hundreds, thousands
- Age 10Order of operationsBrackets, × and ÷ first
- Age 11Negative numbersAdd, subtract, multiply, divide
- Age 11GCF & LCMGreatest common factor, least common multiple
The age on each topic is the age it was designed for, based on typical US school math. Schools in other countries teach topics in a different order, so treat the age as a guide and start where your child is comfortable.
Helping at home
- Use real things. Coins and bundles of ten sticks make place value easier to see than a worksheet.
- Ask "which is bigger, and how do you know?" It builds reasoning, not just answers.
- Short and often wins. Ten minutes most days beats one long session.
How the practice works
Each practice round has 10 questions. Your child can type the answer or tap a choice, gets a second try, and sees the correct answer and a short hint when needed. Questions are generated fresh each time. It is free, with no sign-up and no ads, and progress and stars are saved on your device only.
Build your own course
On the Math Practice page, tap "Add to my course" on any topic from any age. Your picks are collected in one place, and a mixed round draws questions from only those topics.
