Digit In Place

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is an educational resource for practicing the identification of specific place values within 5-digit numbers. It consists of a series of tasks that ask students to either color a square next to numbers with a particular digit in the tens place or check-mark the numbers that have a specified digit in the thousands, ones, hundreds, or ten-thousands place. The worksheet provides a list of numbers for each task, and students must examine each number to determine whether it meets the criteria given. Accompanying the tasks are playful space-themed graphics, adding a visual element of engagement.

The worksheet’s primary focus is to teach students to identify and understand the significance of each digit’s position within a 5-digit number. By completing tasks that require them to recognize digits in particular places, it strengthens their grasp of the base-ten number system. This type of activity helps to develop critical thinking as students analyze each number, and it enhances their attention to detail-a key skill in mathematics. Ultimately, the worksheet helps build a strong foundation for future learning in multi-digit operations and number sense.
