About this resource

Description

A digit is worth a different amount depending on where it sits in a number, and the Eat Place Value Worksheet gives second graders twelve clear problems to practice that idea. On this eat place value worksheet, every three-digit number has one digit with a line under it, and students write what that digit is really worth. A 9 in the hundreds place is worth 900, while a 5 in the tens place is worth 50. Understanding digit value is the core of 2.NBT.A.1 and gets children ready for regrouping, rounding, and comparing larger numbers.

In Part A, students look at a number and write the value of the underlined digit. The ones, tens, and hundreds places are mixed in no set pattern, so each number has to be read with care. Part B turns the task around: students read an amount given in hundreds, tens, and ones, then write the whole number in the box. One item has zero tens and another has zero ones, so children practice the placeholder zero in two spots. Use the page for independent work, a small group, a math center, or homework, and check it quickly with the answer key on page two.

What’s Included

  • One printable 2nd Grade place value worksheet in PDF format
  • Part A: eight three-digit numbers, each with one underlined digit to value
  • Part B: four numbers to build from hundreds, tens, and ones
  • Zero placeholders in both the tens place and the ones place
  • A complete answer key on page two

Three Reasons This Helps Kids

  • It shows children that a digit and its value are two different things, which clears up a very common confusion.
  • Working both ways, from number to value and from parts to number, builds lasting understanding instead of a memorized trick.
  • Roomy answer boxes keep work tidy and make the page fast to check.

Ideas for Teachers and Parents

Turn place value into a snack-time game: write three-digit numbers on paper plates and ask students to say the value of one digit before they “eat” the plate. Model a few Part B numbers with base ten blocks first, stacking hundreds flats, tens rods, and ones cubes. For an extension, have students write a number where the 7 is worth 700 and another where it is worth 70, then explain what changed.
