2nd Grade Place Value Worksheets — to 1,000

Second Grade Place Value Standards (Common Core)

Second grade is where place value stretches from two digits to three. Students learn that the digits of a three-digit number stand for hundreds, tens and ones, and that a hundred is a bundle of ten tens (CCSS 2.NBT.1). From there they read and write numbers to 1,000 in both expanded form and standard form (2.NBT.3), compare two three-digit numbers using >, = and < based on what the hundreds, tens and ones digits mean (2.NBT.4), and mentally add or subtract 10 or 100 from a number (2.NBT.8).

Each mode above practices one of those standards on its own, which is the point — a child who can read base-ten blocks may still stumble on expanded form. If three-digit numbers are still new, start with first grade place value to shore up tens and ones first.

How to Print These Worksheets

1. Pick a skill and a problem count, then click Generate New until you like the set.
2. Tick Include answer key if you want it — it prints on its own sheet, so you can keep it.
3. Click Download PDF, or print straight from the browser.
4. In the print dialog choose US Letter and set scale to 100% (Actual Size) rather than “Fit to page” — the base-ten blocks are drawn to a consistent size, and scaling shrinks them unevenly.
5. Base-ten block pages fit 6–10 problems; the other modes fit up to 20 in two columns.

What Comes After Place Value to 1,000?

Place value is the groundwork for regrouping. Once a student can name the hundreds, tens and ones in 347 without counting, carrying and borrowing stop being tricks to memorize — try addition within 100 and subtraction within 100. The same hundreds/tens/ones thinking also underpins how a whole splits into equal parts, which is where fractions worksheets pick up.
