Underlined Digit Value

Worksheet Description

This worksheet presents a series of three-digit numbers, with one digit in each number underlined. Students are instructed to write the value of the underlined digit in the circles provided below each number. The underlined digits vary in position, being in the ones, tens, or hundreds place, and the worksheet includes a variety of numbers to give students practice with different place values. The layout is clear and simple, focusing the student’s attention on identifying the value of the underlined digit in each number.

The worksheet is designed to teach students the concept of place value and the value of individual digits within a number. It challenges students to not only recognize which place a digit occupies but also to understand the value that the digit represents in that specific place. For example, if the ‘4’ in ‘549’ is underlined, the student must recognize that this represents ’40’, not just ‘4’. This exercise builds critical thinking and number sense, both of which are essential for more advanced mathematical concepts and operations.
