This Grade 3 mathematics worksheet helps students identify the value of an underlined digit in whole numbers through the hundred-thousands place. Across 15 multiple-choice questions, students compare digits that have the same face value but different place values, such as 3 representing 3, 300, 30,000, or 300,000, and recognize when an underlined zero has a value of 0. The repeated-digit examples, including numbers with multiple 8s, 9s, and 3s, require students to use each digit’s position rather than guess from the digit alone. This free printable worksheet is useful for independent practice, review, or a quick Grade 3 place-value check. It includes a complete answer key for efficient teacher feedback and grading.

This Grade 3 worksheet covers finding the value of an underlined digit in whole numbers through the hundred-thousands place. Its 15 multiple-choice questions ask students to distinguish values such as 3, 300, 30,000, and 300,000, including the value of an underlined zero.
First model how a digit’s position determines its value by using one of the worksheet’s repeated-digit examples, such as the different 8s in 483,570 or 743,508. Then have students identify the place of the underlined digit before selecting an answer, and ask them to explain why the same digit can represent 8, 80, or 80,000.
Students may choose the digit’s face value instead of its place value, such as selecting 3 instead of 30,000 or 300,000. They may also confuse repeated digits in the same number, overlook the underlined zero in 430,952, or misread commas and place positions when selecting among closely related options.
This worksheet is available as a printable PDF and as a digital quiz on Wayground, and it includes a complete answer key for all 15 multiple-choice questions. For printable submissions, you can scan student work with the Wayground for Teachers app to help grade responses efficiently.
