Teaching tips and what to try next

For second graders who can read three-digit numbers and have built them with hundreds, tens and ones blocks. Keep a small three-column chart on the table, since naming the place out loud before writing the value prevents most errors. Expanded form practice is in Hundreds, Tens, and Ones Place Value, and comparing whole numbers by place is in Comparing Three-Digit Numbers.

10 versions, each with its own answer key

Same skill and layout, a fresh set of problems in every version, so children can keep practicing without repeating a page. Problems are not repeated between versions unless a skill has only a small number of possible problems (for example, the addition facts within 10).

About this worksheet

Every digit in a three-digit number has a value that depends on its place. In 352, the 3 is worth 300, the 5 is worth 50, and the 2 is worth 2. Second graders are expected to understand that the three digits of a three-digit number represent hundreds, tens and ones, and this second grade worksheet practices that idea in two directions.

The page has two parts. Part A has twelve questions that name a digit in a number, such as "In 482, the 8 is worth," and children write the value, such as 80. Part B turns the question around: children read a place name, such as the hundreds place, and write the digit that sits there. Every number uses three different digits and no zeros, so each digit appears only once and the question is never confusing. Each of the ten versions has new numbers and its own answer key.

How to use it: draw a simple place value chart with three columns labeled hundreds, tens and ones, and have your child write a few of the numbers into it before answering. Saying the value out loud, such as "eight tens is eighty," helps link the digit to its worth. A common mistake is writing just the digit in Part A, so ask, "Is it worth 8 or 80?"

The answer key shows every value and every digit. For writing numbers in expanded form, try our Hundreds, Tens, and Ones Place Value worksheet. For reading and writing number names, try our Writing Three-Digit Numbers in Words worksheet.
