About this resource

Description

Place value is the idea that a digit’s position tells you what it is worth, and it is the foundation of every four-digit number a third grader reads, writes, and compares. This Place Value Thousands, Hundreds, Tens, Ones Worksheet gives students focused practice moving between expanded form and standard form, so that thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones stop being labels to memorize and start being amounts students actually understand.

The Place Value Thousands, Hundreds, Tens, Ones Worksheet is a printable two-page activity with an answer key. In Part A, students read an expanded form written in words and write the matching four-digit number in standard form; the last three items list the places out of order, so students have to read the place name instead of copying the position. In Part B, they work backward and break a four-digit number into the digit that belongs in each place, including the zeros that hold a place open. Part C finishes with two applied questions, one of which asks students to explain in writing what a zero in the tens place tells them about a number.

What’s Included

  • One printable place value worksheet in PDF format, two pages
  • Six expanded-form to standard-form problems, three with the places scrambled
  • Four standard-form to expanded-form problems with a blank for every place
  • Two applied questions, including a short written explanation
  • A complete answer key on the final page

Steady practice with this page helps in three ways. First, it builds number sense: a student who can see 6,382 as six thousands, three hundreds, eight tens, and two ones can estimate, round, and compare with confidence. Second, it strengthens accuracy in addition and subtraction, because lining digits up by place is the whole reason column math works. Third, it prepares students for the language of test questions, which name a place rather than pointing at a position on the page.

Teachers can use this 3rd grade place value worksheet as a warm-up, a small-group review, a homework page, or a quick check before a unit test. Try reading Part A aloud so students hear the place names before they write, or hand out base-ten blocks and ask students to build two of the numbers before recording them. At home, parents can extend the page by writing a four-digit number on a sticky note each morning and asking which digit sits in the hundreds place and what it is worth.
