Find a Number from Place-Value Clues

Name:                              
Date:              

Today I am practising: combining place-value constraints to identify a number

1

My tens digit is 4 and my ones digit is 2. What number am I?

2

I have 6 tens. I am one less than 65. What number am I?

3

My ones digit is 7 and I am between 30 and 40. Find me.

4

I am ten more than 28 and my digits add to 11. Check both clues.

5

I have the same digit in both places and lie between 50 and 60. Find me.

6

Write two clues that identify 73 exactly. Ask an adult to solve them.

Grown-up guide
  1. Ask the learner to check every clue after making a guess.
  2. Allow a short list of candidates before choosing one.
  3. Help revise clues when more than one answer remains.
