Put Them In Place

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a place value activity where students are presented with a list of three-digit numbers in a column labeled ‘Number’. Adjacent to this column are three more columns labeled ‘Hundreds’, ‘Tens’, and ‘Ones’. Students are instructed to deconstruct each number by writing the correct digit in the corresponding column for its place value. The exercise is straightforward, with the goal of reinforcing the student’s ability to recognize and extract the individual place value components of numbers.

The worksheet aims to teach students how to accurately identify and write down the hundreds, tens, and ones places of three-digit numbers. It encourages the development of number sense and an understanding of the base-ten numeral system, which is essential for arithmetic. The activity helps solidify the concept that the position of a digit within a number determines its value. Mastery of this skill is fundamental for learning more complex mathematical operations such as multiplication, division, and understanding of numbers beyond the basic counting range.
