Abstract: Place value competence in early years mathematics is a precursor for success in later grades. In this paper, we analyse the place value visual representations in workbooks from South Africa, Singapore and Australia. A cross-country comparison of curricula materials provides an opportunity to understand similarities and differences in use of visual representations in teaching place value. Drawing on an adapted Visual Representation Framework, we analyse the types of place value VRs in the Grades 1-3 workbooks across the three countries. The results show that there are significant differences in the number of VR and types of VR privileged across the three countries.
