About this resource
Description
This labeling place value worksheet gives second graders focused practice naming the ones, tens, and hundreds places in a three-digit number. Place value is the idea that a digit is worth different amounts depending on where it sits, and it is the foundation under everything students do later with addition, subtraction, rounding, and comparing numbers. When a child can look at 586 and say with confidence that the 8 is in the tens place, they are ready to regroup, estimate, and explain their thinking instead of guessing.
On this printable, one digit in each three-digit number is marked with a line underneath it. Students look at the marked digit, decide which place it sits in, and write ones, tens, or hundreds on the line inside the card. A second section turns the skill around: students read a set of expanded parts, such as four hundreds, seven tens, and two ones, and write the number those parts make. Working in both directions is what turns place value from a memorized label into real understanding. Print this labeling place value worksheet for morning work, a math center, small-group reteaching, or homework, and use the included answer key to check the whole page in seconds.
What’s Included
- Eight number cards, each with one digit marked for students to name
- Five expanded-form items that ask students to build the number
- Roomy handwriting lines sized for second grade printing
- A full answer key on the final page
- One page of student work, ready to print in black and white or color
Three Reasons This Helps Kids
- It builds number sense that lasts. Naming the place a digit sits in is the step that makes regrouping, rounding, and comparing numbers make sense later on.
- It practices the skill in two directions. Students both name a place and build a number from its parts, so they cannot rely on a single pattern to get through the page.
- It keeps the page uncluttered. Big, clear numbers and generous writing space let students focus on the math instead of squeezing answers into tight spaces.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before students begin, write a three-digit number on the board and have the class chant the places from right to left: ones, tens, hundreds. Ask a volunteer to point to the digit in the tens place and explain how they knew. After the page is finished, hand students a stack of digit cards and ask them to build the largest and smallest three-digit numbers they can, then say the value of each digit out loud. For a quick partner game, one student names a place and the other writes a number with a nine in it. This 2nd grade place value worksheet also pairs well with base ten blocks: have students model two or three of the numbers from Part B and check that the blocks match the digits they wrote. Sending the page home is easy too, since the directions are short enough for a family member to read aloud.
