About This Tool
The Place Value Worksheet Generator creates customized practice for understanding our number system. Students work with identifying digits in specific places, writing numbers in expanded form (400 + 30 + 5), converting expanded form to standard form, and comparing numbers. Choose from ones and tens for beginners up through millions for advanced practice. Understanding place value is foundational for all arithmetic operations and number sense.
Frequently Asked Questions
Identify asks which digit is in a specific place (What's in the tens place of 342?). Expand converts standard to expanded form (342 = 300 + 40 + 2). Standard converts expanded to standard form. Compare asks students to use <, >, or = between two numbers. Mixed combines all types.
Ones & Tens (10-99) for beginners, Up to Hundreds (100-999) for early elementary, Up to Thousands (1,000-9,999) for intermediate, and Up to Millions (100,000-9,999,999) for advanced practice. Start simple and increase range as students gain confidence.
Place value is the foundation of our number system. Understanding that the 3 in 342 represents 300 (3 hundreds) is essential for addition with regrouping, subtraction with borrowing, multiplication, division, and working with decimals. It's a critical building block.
Expanded form shows the value of each digit: 5,432 = 5,000 + 400 + 30 + 2. This helps students see that numbers are made up of different place values added together. It's especially helpful for understanding regrouping in addition and subtraction.
