Place Value Exploration Worksheet

A market stall is sorting its number cards. Use place value to read, build and compare the numbers. Write each answer clearly.

Read the number cards

Look carefully at the value of each digit.

1.The stall has a card showing 472. What is the value of the digit 7?

7
70
700
7 000

2.A delivery label reads 3 608. Write the value of each digit as an expanded sum.

3.One box has 5 hundreds, 12 tens and 4 ones. What number does it show after you regroup the tens?

Build and compare

Remember: a flat represents 100, a rod represents 10 and a unit represents 1.

4.A crate contains 2 hundreds, 0 tens and 9 ones. Write its number and its expanded form.

5.Which number is greater: 4 305 or 4 350? Explain using the place value of the digits where the numbers first differ.

6.A number line shows four market delivery totals. Put the numbers in order from least to greatest: 2 480, 2 408, 2 840, 2 804.

7.A fruit box label is 6 172. Round this number to the nearest hundred.

Solve the stall puzzles

Use what each digit tells you to crack the clues.

8.My four-digit number has 3 thousands, 8 hundreds, 0 tens and 6 ones. What is my number?

9.A number has 7 in the thousands place, 2 in the hundreds place, and 5 in both the tens and ones places. Write the number and explain why there are two 5s but they do not have the same value.

10.The stall needs a number greater than 3 400 but less than 3 500. It must have 6 tens and 2 ones. What number fits? Show how its digits match the clues.

11.Create a four-digit delivery number with 4 thousands, a hundreds digit of your choice, 3 tens and 8 ones. Write your number and its expanded form.
