Digit Place Value Practice Activities
Grade 2 worksheets for identifying the value of each digit in two- and three-digit numbers using ones, tens, and hundreds.
Practice that builds confidence
Understanding digit value
These Grade 2 digit place value worksheets help children understand that a digit’s value changes depending on where it sits in a number. Students practise reading numbers by ones, tens, and hundreds, then connect each digit to its actual value.
The printable activities include clear place-value tasks such as identifying the value of an underlined digit, matching digits to hundreds/tens/ones, and writing values in simple forms. They build confidence with the number structure children need for addition, subtraction, comparing numbers, and later rounding.
In Grade 2, children move beyond naming digits and begin explaining what each digit is worth. In 347, the 3 means 300, the 4 means 40, and the 7 means 7. These worksheets focus on that shift from “what digit do you see?” to “what value does the digit have?” using hundreds, tens, and ones vocabulary.
From place to value
The activities progress through two- and three-digit numbers so students can see the pattern: a digit in the ones place counts single units, a digit in the tens place counts groups of ten, and a digit in the hundreds place counts groups of one hundred. Some questions ask children to name the place; others ask for the value, helping them separate related but different ideas.
A simple parent routine
At home, choose one number from the worksheet and ask your child to read it aloud. Point to one digit and ask, “What place is it in?” then, “What is it worth?” If needed, draw quick boxes labeled hundreds, tens, and ones. End by asking your child to make a new number using the same digits and describe how the values changed.
Classroom uses
Teachers can use these printables for morning work, math centers, small-group reteaching, or quick checks after a place value lesson. They also work well with base-ten blocks, place-value charts, or number cards. Students can complete a page independently, then compare answers with a partner by explaining their thinking rather than just reading the answer.
Common errors to watch for
A frequent mistake is saying the digit instead of its value, such as answering “5” when the 5 in 259 is worth 50. Some children also confuse the tens and hundreds places, especially when a number contains a zero. Encourage students to underline the digit, name its place, and then say the value in full.

Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What does digit place value mean in Grade 2?
It means understanding that the same digit can have different values depending on its place. For example, in 242, the first 2 is worth 200 and the last 2 is worth 2.
Do these worksheets cover hundreds, tens, and ones?
Yes. The practice focuses on identifying digits in the ones, tens, and hundreds places and writing or naming the value of those digits.
How can I help my child who keeps writing the digit instead of its value?
Ask your child to first name the place, then count what that place represents. If the 6 is in the tens place, it means 6 tens, so its value is 60.
Are these worksheets useful before learning rounding?
Yes. Strong digit place value helps children understand which digit to look at when comparing numbers or rounding later.
Can these pages be used with manipulatives?
Yes. Base-ten blocks, place-value charts, and number cards pair well with the worksheets and help children see the value behind each digit.
