Expand It

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to help students practice writing numbers in expanded form. It presents several three-digit numbers, each followed by three blank circles and plus signs. Students are instructed to decompose the given numbers into their constituent hundreds, tens, and ones, and then write each part in the corresponding circle. The first number serves as an example to guide students in the exercise.

The worksheet aims to teach students the expanded form of numbers, which breaks down a number into the sum of its digits multiplied by their respective place values. By filling in the circles with the value of the hundreds, tens, and ones, students learn to understand how a number is constructed from its individual parts. This exercise strengthens their grasp of the base-ten system and enhances their ability to recognize the value of digits based on their position. The skill of writing numbers in expanded form is fundamental for understanding properties of numbers and is crucial for arithmetic operations involving larger numbers.
