These printable place-value charts give each digit a labeled column. Choose a three-place chart for hundreds, tens, and ones, or a six-place chart that extends to hundred thousands. Each page starts with a model and has five blank rows underneath.
Hundreds, tens, and ones
The first chart shows 347 as its model. Read the columns as 3 hundreds, 4 tens, and 7 ones. Written as an expanded sum, that is 300 + 40 + 7.
Six whole-number places
The larger chart uses 482,736 as a model. Its places are hundred thousands, ten thousands, thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones. The expanded sum is 400,000 + 80,000 + 2,000 + 700 + 30 + 6.
Write one digit in each place
- Choose a number that fits the chart.
- Start with the ones digit in the rightmost column.
- Place the remaining digits in their columns, moving left.
- Read the number and explain the value of a selected digit.
For 305 on the three-place chart, the zero belongs in the tens column. It shows that there are no tens in that position; leaving it out would change the written number to 35.
Compare a digit with its value
In the model 347, the digit 4 has a value of 40 because it is in the tens place. The same digit in the hundreds place would have a value of 400. Each place to the left represents ten times the value of the neighboring place on its right.
These charts cover whole numbers only. They do not include a decimal point or places for tenths and hundredths. Use blank rows for your own examples rather than treating the page as a fixed problem set.
