Grade 3 Place Value Worksheets
At grade 3, place value means rounding to the nearest ten and hundred, and four-digit expanded form. Below are five worksheets on it — one per format — each in Set A, B and C with keys.

The drill has 30 problems, numbers to 991 (problem 11: "Round 197 to the nearest ten."). The timed drill has 72 problems, numbers to 9,878 (problem 25: "Round 350 to the nearest ten."). The missing number has 24 problems, numbers to 9,801 (problem 9: "7,574 = 7,000 + 500 + 70 + ___"). The mixed review has 30 problems, numbers to 9,921 (problem 11: "Round 930 to the nearest hundred."). The word problems has 10 problems, story problems (problem 4: "A school has 941 students. Round that number to the nearest…").
Across the five sheets the generator draws on rounding to the nearest ten, rounding to the nearest hundred, the value of a digit, missing terms in expanded form, expanded form of four-digit numbers, and comparing four-digit numbers. The pages are tagged to Common Core 3.NBT.1 and 2.NBT.3, and each tag links to the standards index.
If this level is not landing, step to grade 2 place value, where the focus is hundreds, tens and ones, expanded form to 999, and 10 or 100 more and less; if it is too easy, grade 4 moves on to rounding multi-digit numbers to any place and the value of each digit to the hundred thousands.
Start with the grade 3 place value drill to see whether the method is in place, use the timed drill only once accuracy is there, and save the word problems for the point where the student can compute without thinking about it.
