Description
How to Teach Place Value
Every digit in a number has a value that depends on its place. This place value tens sorting worksheet helps 2nd grade students find the tens digit in two-digit and three-digit numbers. The tens place is the second digit from the right, so in 857 the tens digit is 5, not 8. Learning to look past the first digit builds strong number sense for adding, subtracting, and comparing numbers.
About This Worksheet
The worksheet is titled “Place Value: Tens.” In the first part, students read nine numbers in a number box and sort each one into the column that matches its tens digit: 3, 5, or 8. Some numbers start with one of those digits on purpose, so students must check the tens place, not just the first digit. In the second part, students finish three expanded form number sentences by writing the value of the tens digit, such as 600 + 40 + 7 = 647. Use it for classwork, homework, small groups, or a math center.
What’s Included
- A number box with nine two-digit and three-digit numbers
- A three-column sort chart for tens digits 3, 5, and 8
- Three expanded form number sentences with a missing tens value
- A full answer key
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, sorting by the tens digit makes students find the right place in every number instead of guessing. Second, the trap numbers teach students to read place value from the right, a habit they need for three-digit numbers. Third, this 2nd grade place value worksheet connects the tens digit to its real value, 4 tens is 40, through expanded form.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before students begin, build a few numbers with base-ten blocks and point to the tens rods. After the sheet, ask students to write one more number for each column, or to explain why 857 does not go under the 8. You can also turn this place value tens sorting worksheet into a game by calling out numbers and having students hold up the matching tens digit card.
