Place Value Drill Worksheets
Place value is the idea that makes the rest of arithmetic work: that a digit means something different depending on where it sits. These sheets build it in order — teen numbers as ten and some ones in kindergarten, tens and ones to 99 in grade 1, hundreds and expanded form in grade 2, rounding to tens and hundreds in grade 3, multi-digit numbers to the hundred thousands in grade 4, and decimal place value with powers of ten in grade 5.
Because place-value questions come in many shapes — naming a digit, giving its value, writing expanded form, comparing, rounding, ten more and ten less — the mixed-review sheets here are unusually varied, and the missing-number sheets blank a term of an expanded form or a power of ten rather than an operand.

The six formats
- Drill. Straight practice, 20-40 problems. Repeating one question shape — which digit, what value, round to which place — is how the vocabulary of place value becomes automatic.
- Timed Drill. Fact fluency, 50-100 problems, timer box on sheet. Place-value questions answered quickly are the sign that the base-ten structure is understood rather than worked out.
- Missing Number. Solve for the blank in any position. A blank term in an expanded form or a missing power of ten asks the student to reason about structure, not recall a fact.
- Mixed Review. Assorted problem shapes from the operation. Place value has more question shapes than any other topic, and this format is where they meet.
- Word Problems. Story problems in real-world contexts. Populations, prices and measurements put large and decimal numbers in context, which is where rounding actually matters.
