From our teachers' playbook

Thousands, rounding and big-number bragging

What do 3rd graders learn about place value?

Third graders stretch place value into the thousands. They read, write and break apart numbers like 4,736 = 4,000 + 700 + 30 + 6 and say what each digit is worth. The big new skill is rounding: using place value to round to the nearest 10 or 100, so 347 becomes about 350 or about 300. Place value also powers their addition and subtraction within 1,000, especially when regrouping across zeros. The click moment is when kids realize rounding is just asking, "Which ten or hundred is this number closer to?"

Our favorite ways to teach 3rd grade place value

Bigger numbers need clear pictures and lots of quick practice. Here's what works for us.

Four columns, four jobs

Tape a big thousands-hundreds-tens-ones chart to each desk. Call out a number and kids write each digit in its column, then read it back in expanded form. Once the columns feel easy, move to the four-digit worksheet without the chart.

Why it works: going from real objects to pictures to symbols is a core recommendation of the U.S. Department of Education's elementary math guide.

Flash it fast

Hold up a flash card and ask, "What is the 6 worth?" Kids whisper the answer to a partner, then you reveal it. A two-minute round at the start of math keeps four-digit numbers fresh every single day.

Why it works: researchers who compared ten study methods found practice testing is one of the two that work best (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).

Round a little, every day

Rounding fades fast if it's taught in one week and dropped. Slip one rounding word problem into every warm-up for a month. Kids get quick, real-world reasons to round, like estimating the cost of a field trip.

Why it works: the brain holds on to what it meets again and again over time; spaced practice was rated among the very best methods (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).

Questions teachers and parents ask

What is place value in 3rd grade?

In 3rd grade, place value covers numbers into the thousands. Students identify the value of each digit, write numbers in expanded form and use place value to round to the nearest 10 or 100.

How do you teach rounding in 3rd grade?

Use a number line or a "rounding hill." Find the two tens or hundreds the number sits between and decide which one it's closer to. Numbers ending in 5 round up.

Why does my 3rd grader struggle with regrouping?

Regrouping depends on knowing that 1 hundred equals 10 tens. Practice breaking numbers apart with base-ten blocks or money, then go back to the written problems.

What comes after place value in 3rd grade?

Place value supports adding and subtracting within 1,000, estimating with rounding and multiplying by multiples of ten, like 4 × 60.
