grade 3 place value worksheets

📚 Topic Summary

Place value is all about understanding the value of each digit in a number. In grade 3, we learn about ones, tens, and hundreds places. For example, in the number 345, the '3' is in the hundreds place (300), the '4' is in the tens place (40), and the '5' is in the ones place (5). Understanding place value helps us add, subtract, and compare numbers!
