3rd Grade Thousands and Hundreds Digits Worksheet: Name Each Place
Every digit lives in a place, and every place has a name. This 3rd grade thousands and hundreds digits worksheet gives children three short tasks. First, they name the place of the underlined digits in 289 and 5,700. Next, they find the digit in the thousands place in 10,296, 8,392 and 3,392. Last, they find the digit in the hundreds place in 3,698, 2,487 and 3,922. Each number in tasks 2 and 3 comes with a place value chart already filled in, so children can read the column. A second page gives the answer key.
A place, a name, a value
In 289, the 2 sits in the hundreds place. That is its place name. Its value is 200.
The sheet asks for the name, and the answer key gives the name too. It is worth asking for the value as well: "So how much is that 2 worth?"
Knowing both helps third graders round numbers, compare them, and add with regrouping.
At the table: read the chart from the right
Start with task 2, where the charts help. Ask your child to put a finger on the column marked Th, then read the digit below it.
The trap is 10,296. Many children answer 1, because it is the first digit. But 1 sits in the ten thousands place. The thousands digit is 0.
For task 1, there is no chart on the student page. Let your child draw one, as on the answer key, and fill it starting from the ones.
Finally, check every answer together with the answer key.
Odometers and page numbers
Look for big numbers around you. The mileage on a car, the number of pages in a thick book, or a price on a sign all work.
Point to one digit and ask, "Which place is that? What is it worth?" Take turns, and let your child test you too.
Once the page is done, name the effort: "You found the thousands digit even when it was a zero."
