Place Value Power — Ones, Tens, Hundreds & More

In 352, the 5 does not mean five. That small shift—from recognising a digit to understanding its position—is the work at the centre of these place-value sheets for ages 7–9.

Across 10 sequenced pages, children use base-ten block pictures, expanded form, standard form, comparison signs, and rounding. They identify the value of a digit, build and read multi-digit numbers, compare quantities with greater-than and less-than symbols, then round to the nearest ten and hundred. Learners who are ready can continue into thousands and beyond.

The base-ten colouring activities are worth taking slowly. A child may colour three hundred blocks, five tens, and two ones before writing 300 + 50 + 2. That physical-looking breakdown makes it harder for the middle zero in a number to simply disappear, a mistake that can be surprisingly persistent.

Complete answer keys are included, with teaching tips on selected pages. At home, choose the representation that caused the error rather than automatically assigning the next sheet. In a classroom, the block visuals can support a small group while comparison or rounding pages serve as independent review.

This is a printable digital pack, so pages can be repeated when a learner needs another example with the same structure. The order provides a sensible route through the topic, but it is also easy to pull out one focused exercise when expanded form or rounding needs attention.
