Place Value Addition

Worksheet illustration

📚 Part 1: WALT, Success Criteria & Multiple Choice

WALT: We are learning to add two- and three-digit numbers using place value strategies by partitioning into hundreds, tens and ones.

Success Criteria: I can partition numbers into hundreds, tens and ones, add each place value, and combine the totals to find the answer.

1. What is 243 + 156? (Use place value: hundreds, tens, ones)

399

409

389

400

2. What is 78 + 46?

124

114

134

120

3. When adding 305 + 208, what do the hundreds add to?

400

500

600

300

4. Which shows the correct partitioning of 167?

100 + 60 + 7

100 + 70 + 6

160 + 7 + 0

10 + 60 + 97

✏️ Part 2: Short Answers — Show your place value working

5. Add 243 + 156. Partition both numbers, add hundreds, tens and ones, then write the total.
6. Add 79 + 35. Use place value columns (tens and ones). Show any regrouping.
7. Add 412 + 187. Write the equation and show the partitioning step (hundreds, tens, ones).
8. Word problem: James has 235 marbles and Sarah has 417 marbles. How many altogether? Write an equation and show your place value steps.

🌟 Part 3: Extension & Reflection

9. Extension (for advanced learners): Find the total of 678 + 245. Partition and show why your answer is reasonable by estimating.
10. Reflection: In one sentence, explain the three parts you add when using place value.

Differentiation & Support: For learners who need extra help, use place value blocks, number lines or colour-code hundreds, tens and ones columns. Provide step-by-step guides. For learners ready to extend, try larger numbers or add three numbers.

Dyslexia-friendly note: Use a ruler or coloured strip to track each line, and read the numbers aloud while partitioning to support understanding.
