What grade 2 place value covers
The Common Core's grade 2 place value standards read a 3-digit number as hundreds, tens and ones (its example is 706), skip count by 5s, 10s and 100s, write expanded form, and compare with <, > and =. Finding 10 or 100 more or less in the head sits with addition. Texas takes grade 2 to 1,200.
Place value worksheets grade 2, from 2 digits to 3
Begin with the 2-digit warm-ups, which double as 2 digit place value worksheets for a pupil who reads 47 as a 4 and a 7. Before Expanded form to 999, rule a tens ones hundreds chart and write 347 into its three columns. The page opens on Compare a number with an expanded form: 12 rows with one side in parts, such as 500 + 90 + 3.
- A pupil who writes 65 for 600 + 5 needs Expanded form with a zero, which asks both ways.
- An answer of 3,105 for 395 + 10 means the new ten was written beside the old tens.
- Under Numbers to 1,200 for Texas classes, the sheets repeat expanded form, comparing, and 10 or 100 more or less.
Questions and answers
What is expanded form in 2nd grade?
A 3-digit number written as the sum of its hundreds, tens and ones: 347 = 300 + 40 + 7. A place that holds zero adds no part, so 706 = 700 + 6. The Common Core first names expanded form in grade 2.
Do these work as 3 digit place value worksheets?
Yes. Apart from the 2-digit warm-ups and the Texas group, every sheet starts from a 3-digit number. Expanded form to 999 is a good first one: 20 numbers with no zeros, and the key on page 2.
Why do 2nd grade place value worksheets stop at 1,000?
The Common Core sets that limit: grade 2 counts within 1000, reads and writes numbers to 1000, and finds 10 or 100 more or less for numbers from 100 to 900. Second graders are usually 7 to 8 (Year 3 in England and Wales).
