Place Value 3-Digit Numbers is a free printable Grade 2 mathematics worksheet that helps students identify the place and value of digits in three-digit numbers. Through 10 multiple-select questions, students determine whether a digit represents ones, tens, or hundreds; find its value; and distinguish values such as 4, 40, and 400 based on position. The worksheet also gives students practice writing three-digit numbers in expanded form, completing missing addends, and building numbers from hundreds, tens, and ones. Items such as 378 = 300 + ___ + 8 and “8 hundreds, 9 tens” require students to connect standard, expanded, and place-value representations. Use this Grade 2 resource for guided practice, independent work, or a quick check of place-value understanding. It includes a complete answer key for efficient review and grading.

This Grade 2 worksheet covers identifying the place and value of digits in three-digit numbers, writing numbers in expanded form, completing missing place-value addends, and composing numbers from hundreds, tens, and ones. Its 10 multiple-select questions help students connect a digit’s position with representations such as 200 + 60 + 5 and 8 hundreds, 9 tens = 890.
Introduce a few three-digit numbers with a place-value chart, then have students explain both the position and value of a selected digit—for example, why 7 in 172 represents tens. Use the expanded-form and number-building items as a second step, asking students to justify answers such as 378 = 300 + 70 + 8 before completing the worksheet independently.
Students may name a digit instead of its value, choosing 4 rather than 40 or 400 when its position changes. They may also confuse expanded form with an ungrouped list of digits, or select 809 instead of 890 when combining 8 hundreds and 9 tens. Check that students use the missing addend to represent the tens place in equations such as 600 + ___ + 8 = 688.
This Place Value 3-Digit Numbers worksheet is available as a printable PDF and as a digital quiz on Wayground.
