Place Value Missing Digits

Use place value to solve each clue. A digit’s position tells you its value: ones, tens, hundreds, thousands or ten thousands. Write a digit in every blank and explain your thinking where asked.

Decode the delivery labels

A delivery robot has mixed up some digits on its parcel labels. Solve the clues to help sort the parcels.

1.Parcel A is labelled 3□47. The missing digit is in the hundreds place and is 2 more than 5. What is the complete number?
2.Parcel B is labelled 1□,205. The missing digit is in the thousands place. It is the smallest odd digit greater than 3. Write the complete number.
3.Parcel C is labelled 5□,8□3. The ten-thousands digit is 5. The thousands digit is 1 less than 5, and the tens digit is double 3. What number is on the parcel?
4.Parcel D is labelled 42,□16. The hundreds digit is 0. Write the complete number and name the value of the 2.

Sort by size

Put the numbers in order from smallest to largest. Use the number line to help you compare their place values.

5.Three parcels show 14,205, 18,205 and 12,805. Write them from smallest to largest.
6.A parcel number is 6□,731. It is greater than 64,731 but less than 67,731. Which digits could go in the blank?
7.The robot adds 10 to 3□,995. The missing digit is 4. Complete the addition and explain what happens when the 9 in the tens place increases by 1.

Make your own parcel puzzle

Create a missing-digit clue for a five-digit number. Make sure your clue has one clear answer.

8.Write a five-digit number with at least one missing digit, then add a clue that lets someone work out the missing digit. Solve your own puzzle.
