What each level generates

Grade 3 digits and places — the exact skill behind each difficulty setting, straight from the generator.

  1. Level 1Which digit is in this place
  2. Level 2Which place is this digit in
  3. Level 3How many of a place in all

Grade levels follow the progression common to most English-language curricula — not one specific national curriculum. Every level shows exactly what it generates, so you can check the fit with your own program. See the full scope & sequence →

More Grade 3 place value skills

Each one generates a different kind of question, with its own three levels and answer key.

Frequently asked questions

▸What is the value of a digit?

It is the digit multiplied by its place. In 4738 the 7 sits in the hundreds place, so its value is 700. Grade 3 students should give the value as a number, not just name the column.

▸Which place value sheets does Grade 3 have?

Seven, each printed separately. Value of a Digit asks for the value of a named digit in a four-digit number. Digits and Places names the columns. Expanded Form practises both ways — number to sum and sum to number — and Number Words does the same in English. Comparing Numbers, Ordering Numbers and More and Less complete the set. Each sheet has its own three levels, so choosing a level changes how hard that skill is, not which skill you get.

▸How do you write a four-digit number in expanded form?

Take each digit in turn and write what it is worth, joined by plus signs. For 4738 that is 4000 + 700 + 30 + 8. Reading the answer back aloud is a quick way to check nothing has slipped a column.

▸Are the numbers chosen so the questions are unambiguous?

Yes. Numbers that name a digit use four different non-zero digits, so a question about "the digit 7" always points at exactly one position and has a single correct answer.
