Places in Words

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a practice tool for identifying and writing the place values of digits in three-digit numbers. Each question presents a three-digit number and requires the student to write out the value of the hundreds, tens, and ones places separately. An example is provided at the top, where the number 854 is broken down into “8 hundreds, 5 tens, and 4 ones.” The sheet is organized with boxes labeled A through G, each containing a different three-digit number for the student to analyze.

The worksheet is designed to teach students how to dissect three-digit numbers into their individual place values. It focuses on enhancing the student’s ability to recognize the value of each digit based on its position within the number. This practice is crucial for developing a strong understanding of the base-ten number system. Mastery of place value is foundational for all higher-level arithmetic operations, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
