Expanded Circles

Worksheet Description

This worksheet provides students with a set of three-digit numbers and prompts them to write these numbers in expanded form. The expanded form is a way of expressing numbers to show the value of each digit, which is represented as the digit multiplied by its place value (for instance, hundreds, tens, and ones). For the number 975, the expanded form is demonstrated as an example at the top of the sheet, with blanks and plus signs for students to fill in the expanded forms for the remaining numbers. This task helps to visualize how each digit contributes to the total value of the number.

The worksheet is teaching students how to break down numbers into their component place values and express them in an expanded format. This exercise reinforces their understanding of the base-ten numeral system and the concept of place value. By converting standard numbers into expanded form, students learn to appreciate how each digit’s position affects its value. Mastering this concept is fundamental for grasping more complex mathematical operations and for developing strong number sense.
