What this worksheet teaches

• Regroup ten ones as one ten and ten tens as one hundred.
• Read, write and model three-digit numbers as hundreds, tens and ones.
• Explain what each digit in a number such as 407 represents, including the role of the zero.
• Compare and order three-digit numbers using the hundreds digit first, then tens, then ones.

How to use this worksheet

Use hundreds, tens and ones columns drawn on scrap paper alongside the worksheet. Have your child place each number's digits into the columns before answering comparison questions. Once digits are in columns, 'compare the hundreds first' becomes something they can see rather than a rule to remember.

Sample questions from this worksheet

1. In 48, the place value of 4 = ______
2. In 57, the place value of 7 = ______

Frequently asked questions

How high should Grade 2 place value go?

Up to 1,000 is the usual Grade 2 range. Thousands can wait until three-digit work - including numbers with zeros in the middle - is comfortable.

My child says the 0 in 407 means nothing. How should I explain it?

It means no tens, and it holds the 4 in the hundreds place. Write 47 and 407 in labelled columns side by side - seeing the 4 shift columns when the zero is removed makes the zero's job obvious.

Why does my child think 89 is bigger than 102?

Because 8 and 9 are bigger digits than 1, 0 and 2. Comparing digit sizes instead of place values is the standard Grade 2 slip. Put both numbers in hundreds-tens-ones columns and compare the leftmost column first.
