Missing Place Value 3 Digit Number Practice Activities
Printable Class 2 maths worksheets for finding missing hundreds, tens, or ones in 3-digit numbers using place value charts and expanded form.
Practice that builds confidence
What children learn
These Class 2 maths worksheets help children practise finding the missing place value in 3-digit numbers. Learners work with hundreds, tens, and ones to complete numbers, expanded forms, and place value statements.
The printable activities include missing digits, blank place value boxes, number names, and expanded notation such as 300 + __ + 7. They support the Place Value Rounding unit by strengthening the base-ten understanding children need before comparing or rounding numbers.
Children identify the value of each digit in a 3-digit number: hundreds, tens, and ones. Instead of only reading 462 as “four hundred sixty-two,” they learn that 4 means 400, 6 means 60, and 2 means 2. The missing-place-value tasks ask them to complete parts of this structure, such as 500 + 30 + __ = 537 or __ hundreds, 8 tens, 4 ones = 684.
Progression in the worksheets
The practice usually begins with clear place value charts, then moves to expanded form and mixed questions. A child may first fill a blank under H, T, O, then complete a missing digit in a 3-digit number. Later questions may combine number names, expanded form, and value statements so children connect the same number in different representations.
Parent routine at home
Choose one small set of questions and ask your child to read each number aloud. Have them point to the hundreds, tens, and ones places before writing the missing part. For example, with 276 = 200 + __ + 6, ask, “Which digit is in the tens place? What is its value?” Use coins, sticks, beads, or bundled straws if your child needs a concrete model.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these printables for maths warm-ups, revision after teaching place value, small-group support, or independent practice. They also work well as quick checks before moving into comparing 3-digit numbers or rounding to the nearest ten or hundred, because children must first understand what each digit contributes.
Common errors to watch for
Some children write the digit instead of its value, such as writing 3 instead of 30 for the tens place. Others confuse tens and ones when there is a zero in the number, as in 407 or 650. Encourage neat column alignment and ask children to say “hundreds, tens, ones” each time they inspect a number.

Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What does missing place value mean in a 3-digit number?
It means one part of the number is not shown, and the child must use hundreds, tens, and ones to complete it. For example, in 400 + __ + 8 = 468, the missing value is 60.
Are these worksheets suitable for Class 2 maths revision?
Yes. They are designed for Class 2 learners who are practising 3-digit numbers and need revision of hundreds, tens, ones, and expanded form.
How can I help my child if they write the digit instead of the value?
Ask them to name the place first. If the digit 7 is in the tens place, guide them to say “7 tens,” then “70.” This helps them understand the difference between a digit and its place value.
Do these activities help with rounding later?
Yes. Before children round numbers, they need to know which digit is in the tens or hundreds place. Missing place value practice builds that foundation.
What materials can I use along with the printable worksheets?
Bundled straws, beads, place value cards, or simple H-T-O charts can make the idea clearer. Children can build the number first and then fill in the missing value.
