Place value worksheets for Grade 2

Grade 2 is the year numbers pass 99. Your child now meets hundreds, and the idea that 10 tens make a hundred. A three-digit number stops being a long word and becomes a set of groups.

Start with Tens and ones if the base-ten block pictures still feel fresh, since it is a good warm-up. Then move to Hundreds, tens and ones, where a number like 483 is shown and your child writes 4 hundreds, 8 tens and 3 ones. Expanded form comes last, where 483 becomes 400 + 80 + 3.

The hard level puts a zero in the middle, such as 507. Many kids write 57 or skip the tens box. Ask what the zero is holding: it says there are no tens, and it keeps the 5 in the hundreds place.

Expanded form is the one that feels like a puzzle at first. If your child stalls, have them say the number aloud in parts, then write each part. When two sheets in a row are mostly right at the easy level, try medium. Hard is worth saving for when zeros stop causing trouble.
