Place-Value Trail: Numbers to 1,000
Year 3 • Beginner • Ages 7–8
Instructions: Work through the activities in order. Use the examples and place-value clues to help you, and write each answer in its box. Check that your numbers and number words match.
Count in Equal Steps
Each sequence starts at 0 and follows the same step each time. Add the stated amount to find the next number. Use the boxes to complete each sequence.
Example: Count in 4s: 0, 4, 8, 12, 16.
1. Count in 4s: 0, 4, 8, , 16,
2. Count in 8s: 0, 8, 16, , 32,
3. Count in 50s: 0, 50, , 150,
4. Count in 100s: 0, 100, , 300,
Ten or One Hundred More or Less
For each question, change the starting number by exactly 10 or 100. Adding makes the number greater; subtracting makes it smaller. Keep track of the hundreds, tens and ones.
Example: 10 more than 246 is 256.
1. 10 more than 348 =
2. 10 less than 572 =
3. 100 more than 426 =
4. 100 less than 785 =
5. 10 more than 690 =
Hundreds, Tens and Ones
A three-digit number has hundreds, tens and ones. For example, 352 has 3 hundreds, 5 tens and 2 ones. Write the value of the named digit in each number.
Example: In 352, the 5 is worth 50.
1. In 684, what is the value of the 6?
2. In 427, what is the value of the 2?
3. In 539, what is the value of the 9?
4. In 806, what is the value of the 8?
5. In 271, what is the value of the 7?
Compare and Order
Compare the hundreds first, then the tens, then the ones. In questions 1–3, write <, > or = in the box. In questions 4–5, write the numbers in the requested order.
Example: 318 < 381 because both have 3 hundreds, but 1 ten is less than 8 tens.
1. 472 427
2. 605 650
3. 839 839
4. Write in ascending order: 306, 360, 603
5. Write in descending order: 718, 781, 187
Read and Write Number Words
Write each number in words, or write the number in numerals, as requested. Remember to use a hyphen in number words such as twenty-four. In this worksheet, number words use “and” before the tens or ones after the hundreds.
Example: 246 = two hundred and forty-six.
1. Write 315 in words.
2. Write 708 in words.
3. Write “six hundred and twenty-four” in numerals.
4. Write “nine hundred and three” in numerals.
5. Write 480 in words.
