Worksheet variations

A digit's value depends on its place. Name the place by counting from the right: ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands, millions. The value is the digit times that place, so the 7 in 47,320 is 7 thousands, or 7,000. Each place is worth ten times the place to its right.

FAQ

What's the difference between a digit's place and its value?

The place is the position, such as the thousands place. The value is the digit times that place: the 6 in 46,213 is in the thousands place and its value is 6,000.

How does a digit's value change when it moves one place left?

It becomes ten times as large. The 3 in 300 is worth ten times the 3 in 30.

Is every worksheet different?

Yes. Numbers are generated each time, and the answer key is calculated for that sheet. Swap any single question and its answer updates too.

Can I mix value of a digit with other skills?

Yes. In the generator, add more skills; each gets its own section on the sheet with its own instructions.

Is it free to print?

Yes. Generating and printing from the browser is free with no sign-up. PDF downloads need a free account.
