Free Place Value Worksheets

About Our Place Value Worksheets

Our place value worksheets build the foundational understanding that numbers are composed of digits whose value depends on their position. Covering Grades 1-4, the collection progresses from tens and ones through hundred thousands and decimals. Students learn expanded form, word form, comparing and ordering numbers, rounding, and base-ten block representation.

What Students Will Learn

Beginning with grouping objects into tens and ones, students advance to hundreds/tens/ones, expanded form (345 = 300 + 40 + 5), word form, comparing multi-digit numbers, rounding to nearest 10 and 100, decimal place value (tenths, hundredths), and place value through millions. Base-ten block connections make abstract concepts concrete.

How Teachers Can Use These Worksheets

• With manipulatives: Pair the tens/ones and hundreds/tens/ones worksheets with base-ten blocks — students build the number physically before writing it.
• For daily number talk: Use the expanded form worksheet format for daily warm-ups: write a number on the board, students write it in expanded form.
• For rounding instruction: The rounding worksheets include number line visuals — students see why 47 rounds to 50, not 40.

How Parents and Homeschoolers Can Use These Worksheets

Use household items to model place value: bundle straws or popsicle sticks into groups of ten. Play "What's My Number?" — give clues like "I have 3 tens and 4 ones." For rounding practice, talk about real-life rounding: "The store says something costs $4.87 — about how much is that?"
