About this resource
Description
Every digit in a number has a job, and its place tells you what that job is. This Finding Place Value Worksheet helps 2nd grade students focus on the hundreds place in three-digit numbers. Children read numbers written in words, figure out which digit belongs in the hundreds place, and build their own numbers to show they understand how place value works.
The sheet has three parts. In Part A, students read five numbers written in words, such as seven hundred eight, and write the digit that is in the hundreds place. In Part B, they write their own three-digit numbers with a given digit in the hundreds place. In Part C, they solve a short word problem by writing a number from words and then naming its hundreds digit. Use this 2nd grade place value worksheet for math centers, morning work, small-group practice, or homework.
What’s Included
- Five number-word problems that ask for the digit in the hundreds place
- Four write-your-own-number problems with a set hundreds digit
- One two-step word problem with a friendly garden picture
- An answer key with sample answers for the open-ended items
Why It Helps Kids Learn
First, reading numbers written in words connects number names to digits, a key 2nd grade standard. Second, writing their own numbers pushes students to think about where each digit goes instead of just copying. Third, including numbers with a zero, like seven hundred eight, teaches children to read each digit by its place and not by its position alone.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before starting, build a few three-digit numbers with base-ten blocks and ask which blocks show the hundreds. After students finish the Finding Place Value Worksheet, have partners say a number aloud and challenge each other to name the hundreds digit. At home, look for three-digit numbers on house numbers, price tags, and page numbers, and talk about how many hundreds each one has.
