Picking Place Value

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to help students practice identifying specific place values within 5-digit numbers. It contains a series of tasks that ask students to recognize numbers with particular digits in certain place value positions, such as the tens, thousands, ones, hundreds, and ten-thousands places. For example, one task is to color squares next to numbers that have a ‘9’ in the tens place, while other tasks involve check-marking numbers that meet different criteria based on their digits and place values. The worksheet layout is organized and straightforward, encouraging students to focus on one type of place value identification at a time.

The goal of this worksheet is to teach students about the significance of digit placement within larger numbers and to reinforce their understanding of the decimal number system. By focusing on individual digits in specific places, it helps students to enhance their attention to detail and their ability to recognize patterns in numbers. These skills are fundamental to many areas of mathematics, including computation and number theory. Completing this worksheet will improve students’ number sense and their proficiency in working with 5-digit numbers.
