Description
Knowing what each digit in a number is worth is the key to adding, subtracting and rounding with confidence. This tens place value worksheet helps third graders find the digit in the tens place and write the value it stands for, so they see that a 7 in the tens place means 70, not 7.
About This Worksheet
In Part A, students look at six numbers with two, three and four digits and write the value of the digit in the tens place on the line beside each one. One number has a zero in the tens place, so children learn that a zero still holds its place. In Part B, students write their own numbers that follow a rule, such as a four-digit number with a 9 in the tens place. In Part C, they solve two short word problems about apples at a farm stand and bottle caps saved by two classes, using numbers with the same digits in a different order. Use it for math centers, morning work, homework or a quick place value check.
What’s Included
- Six numbers to find the value of the tens digit
- Four write-your-own number challenges
- Two place value word problems
- A complete answer key with sample answers for Part B
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
- Writing the value, not just the digit, builds real number sense for mental math.
- Making their own numbers asks students to apply the rule instead of just spotting it.
- Word problems with swapped digits show why the place of a digit changes its value.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before starting, build a few numbers with base ten blocks and ask how many tens each one has. After the worksheet, have partners trade their Part B numbers and check each other’s tens digit. Pair this 3rd grade base 10 worksheet with a hundreds or ones place value page to review every place in a four-digit number.
