Place Value and Rounding
Read, compare and round numbers up to 100,000 — the place-value fluency that every 11+ maths paper assumes.
Place value is about what each digit is worth depending on where it sits. Get this secure and rounding, comparing and estimating all become quick marks rather than guesses.

Maths · Question 1 of 4
Score: 0 / 4
Round 8,647 to the nearest 100.
Correct: A — 8,600. Look at the tens digit to decide: it is 4, so we round down. 8,647 → 8,600.
What is 1,000 more than 39,950?
Correct: C — 40,950. 39,950 + 1,000 = 40,950. Only the thousands digit changes, because no carrying is needed.
Using each of the digits 4, 0, 7 and 2 exactly once, what is the largest number you can make?
Correct: D — 7,420. Put the largest digit first, then the next largest: 7 → 4 → 2 → 0 gives 7,420.
You scored 0 out of 4.
