What this worksheet teaches

• Compare and order three-digit numbers using the hundreds digit first, then tens, then ones.
• Write numbers in expanded form (for example 358 = 300 + 50 + 8).
• Count on and back in tens and hundreds from any three-digit number.
• Regroup ten ones as one ten and ten tens as one hundred.

How to use this worksheet

Do the counting-in-tens questions out loud rather than in writing. Crossing a hundred - 290, 300, 310 - is where Grade 2 students hesitate, and hearing themselves cross the boundary correctly a few times is what makes it automatic.

Sample questions from this worksheet

1. Tens place in 92 is: (9 / 2)
2. Ones place in 74 is: (7 / 4)

Frequently asked questions

Do we need base-ten blocks?

They help but are not required. Ten bundles of ten straws, beans or pasta pieces do the same job, and making the hundred by hand is arguably more memorable than using ready-made blocks.

How does this connect to two-digit addition?

Directly. Carrying is regrouping ten ones into a ten, and borrowing is the reverse. Solid place value in Grade 2 is what stops column addition from becoming a memorised set of steps.

Should my child still be saying numbers the long way?

Yes, when they are unsure. Saying 'three hundreds, five tens and eight ones' before writing 358 catches most errors before they reach the page, and can be dropped once accuracy is consistent.
