Digit Place Value Practice Activities
Class 2 maths worksheets help children identify the place and value of each digit in 2-digit and 3-digit numbers.
Practice that builds confidence
What children learn
These Class 2 digit place value worksheets help children understand that a digit’s value changes depending on its position. In numbers such as 42 or 318, children learn to identify ones, tens, and hundreds and say what each digit is worth.
The printable activities include place value charts, expanded form practice, digit value questions, matching tasks, and number-building exercises. Children move from naming the place to explaining the value with confidence.
Place value is the idea that the position of a digit tells us its value. In 46, the 4 means 4 tens, or 40, and the 6 means 6 ones. In 236, the 2 means 2 hundreds, the 3 means 3 tens, and the 6 means 6 ones. These worksheets help Class 2 children separate the digit from its value.
How the practice develops
The pages begin with simple identification: underline the digit in the tens place or circle the digit in the ones place. Then children write values, such as 5 tens = 50, and complete place value charts. Later activities ask them to write numbers in expanded form, match numbers to their parts, or build a number from hundreds, tens, and ones.
Parent routine at home
Use any 2-digit or 3-digit number from daily life, such as a bus number, page number, or price label. Ask, “Which digit is in the tens place?” and “What is its value?” Then change one digit and compare: 24 and 42 use the same digits, but their values are different. This quick talk makes place value practical.
Classroom uses
Teachers can use these worksheets after base-ten blocks, abacus work, or place value chart demonstrations. They are useful for maths centres, notebook practice, small-group reteaching, and quick checks before addition, subtraction, or rounding lessons. Students can also explain answers orally to build mathematical language.
Common errors to watch for
Children may say the digit and the value are the same, such as saying the 7 in 72 is “7” instead of “70.” They may also reverse tens and ones in numbers like 34 and 43. Encourage them to read from right to left when checking places: ones, tens, hundreds.

Frequently asked questions
What is digit place value in Class 2 maths?
Digit place value means understanding that a digit has a value based on its position, such as ones, tens, or hundreds.
How do I explain the value of 5 in 58?
In 58, the 5 is in the tens place, so its value is 5 tens, which is 50. The 8 is in the ones place, so its value is 8.
Do these worksheets include 3-digit numbers?
Yes. The practice includes ones, tens, and hundreds so children can work with both 2-digit and 3-digit numbers.
Why is expanded form useful for place value?
Expanded form shows the value of each digit separately, such as 236 = 200 + 30 + 6, making the place value clearer.
What mistake should I watch for when my child works on place value?
A common mistake is naming the digit instead of its value, such as saying the 4 in 47 is worth 4 instead of 40.
