Free practice on Place Value for Class 3, following the Cameroon primary school curriculum (English subsystem). Every answer is explained, so a parent who is not sure of the answer can still help.
The place of a digit tells us its value. In 352, the 3 is in the hundreds place so it means 300. The 5 is in the tens place so it means 50. The 2 is in the units place so it means just 2.
| Hundreds | Tens | Units |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | 5 | 2 |
When we reach 1000 and above, we add the thousands column. But for now, let us practise hundreds, tens and units with numbers up to 500.
| Number | Hundreds | Tens | Units |
|---|---|---|---|
| 146 | 1 (= 100) | 4 (= 40) | 6 |
| 305 | 3 (= 300) | 0 (= 0) | 5 |
| 420 | 4 (= 400) | 2 (= 20) | 0 |
We can break a number into its place values. 467 = 400 + 60 + 7. This is called expanded form. It helps us understand what each digit really means!
