Place Value worksheets, easiest first
Each sheet assumes the one above it is comfortable. Start where your child is, not at the top.- Whole-number place value
Print 3̸4̸7 → 40 - Expanded form
Print 105 = 100 + 5 - Rounding numbers
Print 487 → 490 - Estimating sums and products
Print 83 × 32 ≈ ? - Estimating differences
Print 487 − 213 ≈ 280 - Estimating products
Print 83 × 32 ≈ 2,400 - Identifying place value digits
Print tens digit of 347 → 4 - Naming the place
Print 4 in 347 → tens - Composing numbers from expanded form
Print 300 + 40 + 7 → 347
A simple way through place value
Rounding is the first place-value skill that asks a child to act on the places rather than just read them. To round, you find the place you are aiming for, look at the digit just to its right, and decide: 5 or more rounds the target place up, 4 or less leaves it alone — and every digit after it becomes zero. Doing this well means a child genuinely understands that the 8 in 480 and the 8 in 4,800 are different sizes.
Why this order works
Each sheet fixes one place — nearest ten, hundred, or thousand — so the decision is practiced many times instead of guessed at once. The numbers are chosen so none is already round and the telling halfway cases turn up on purpose, and because every answer is an exact whole number, these sheets can be worked on the practice page as well as on paper.
