Description
This place value tens worksheet helps 2nd grade students find the tens digit in two-digit and three-digit numbers and tell what that digit is worth. Knowing that the 8 in 384 means eight tens, or 80, is a key step in building number sense, and it gets students ready for regrouping, skip counting by tens and two-digit addition and subtraction.
The place value tens worksheet has two parts. In Part A, students look at six number cards and circle the digit in the tens place. The numbers mix two-digit and three-digit values, so the tens digit is not always in the same spot and students must count the places from the right. In Part B, students find the tens digit in six more numbers and write its value on the line, including a number with a zero in the tens place. Use it as morning work, a math center, homework or a quick check after a place value lesson.
What’s Included
- Part A: 6 number cards to circle the digit in the tens place
- Part B: 6 number cards to write the value of the tens digit
- A mix of two-digit and three-digit numbers, with a zero in the tens place
- A complete answer key on page 2
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, students learn to read place from the right, so they find the tens digit in a number of any length instead of guessing a position. Second, writing the value of the digit builds the link between a digit and what it is worth, which is the heart of base-ten understanding. Third, the zero in the tens place shows students that a zero still holds a place and has a value of zero tens.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before starting, build one of the numbers with base-ten rods and unit cubes and ask students to point to the tens. After the worksheet, have students write a three-digit number of their own and trade with a partner to circle the tens digit and name its value. This 2nd grade place value worksheet also works well as a warm-up before a lesson on adding tens. Use the answer key for fast grading or self-checking.
