11+ Maths — Place Value
Free 11+ Place Value practice papers (printable)
Place value is one of the foundations of 11+ maths: children need to read and compare whole numbers and decimals confidently, understand how digits change value by position, and apply that in word problems and reasoning questions.
These pages give you printable sample layouts (10 questions each) so you can build fluency away from the screen. They complement timed online practice where you can track mistakes and pacing over time.

Frequently asked questions — Place Value
- Is place value still tested if my 11+ is “reasoning heavy”?
- Yes—reasoning items still depend on secure number sense. Children who misread decimals, scale, or digit positions often lose marks even when the “hard idea” was within reach. Short, accurate practice on place value reduces those slips.
- How often should we practise place value in Year 5?
- Little-and-often works best: short sessions mixed with other number topics. Use these printable papers occasionally for exam-style layout, and balance with timed practice platforms (like Studoo) that show whether errors are slips or gaps.
- Are these papers official 11+ past papers?
- No—they are free sample layouts for personal practice. They are not affiliated with GL, CEM, or any individual grammar school. Always use your school’s sample papers for authentic format and timing.
