Expanded Form Worksheet Year 3 | 3-Digit Place Value and Partitioning

Hundreds, tens and ones: show the value of each digit! Pupils learn that expanded form (also called partitioning) shows the value of each digit in a 3-digit number. They write eight numbers in expanded form, write six numbers in digits from their parts, circle the best answer four times, solve two more number puzzles and write a number of their own with a 0 in the tens place. A quick, no-prep place value activity for Year 3 (ages 7–8) that works as a starter, a lesson activity, morning work, a cover task or homework.
