Parent guide
By Grade 3, your child is expected to handle numbers into the thousands in some classrooms, and to use place value when adding, subtracting and rounding. Shaky place value shows up later as careless errors, so a little steady practice now pays off.
The Hundreds, tens and ones variant works as a quick check. A number is shown and your child writes how many of each. If it goes fast, switch to Expanded form, where 628 is written as 600 + 20 + 8. This version asks kids to know the value of a digit, not just its name.
Watch for the gap between the digit and its value. In 628, the 2 is not just a 2. It stands for twenty. Ask your child both questions: which digit is it, and what is it worth?
Start at the medium level if the easy one feels too simple. The hard level brings in zeros in the middle and the occasional full set of digits, where a slip in one place changes the whole number. Move on to rounding sheets once expanded form comes out right most of the time, since rounding leans on exactly this skill.
