Class 2 Place Value Worksheet – Ones, Tens & Hundreds

Learn place value for Class 2 with ones, tens, and hundreds. Includes solved examples, expanded form practice, and tips to help your child understand the value of each digit in a number.

What is Place Value?

Place value tells us the value of each digit in a number based on its position. Every number has three main places: the ones place is the rightmost digit, the tens place is the middle digit, and the hundreds place is the leftmost digit.

For example, in the number 235, the digit 2 is in the hundreds place and equals 200, the digit 3 is in the tens place and equals 30, and the digit 5 is in the ones place and equals 5. Together, 200 + 30 + 5 = 235.

Solved Example

Problem: What is the place value of each digit in 147?

Step-by-Step Solution

The digit 1 is in the hundreds place, so its value is 100.

The digit 4 is in the tens place, so its value is 40.

The digit 7 is in the ones place, so its value is 7.

147 = 100 + 40 + 7.

• 10–14 marks: Good Effort! Focus on the difference between place and place value. Use place value blocks or draw pictures to help.
• 0–9 marks: Keep Trying! Start with 2-digit numbers first. Use objects like sticks and stones to understand tens and ones.

Tips for Mastering Place Value

Remember the position – Ones is always on the right, then tens, then hundreds as you move left.

Use a place value chart – Draw a chart with H, T, and O columns to organise digits clearly.

Understand that the same digit changes value – The digit 2 in 25 equals 20, but the digit 2 in 52 equals just 2.

Practice expanded form – Break numbers into hundreds + tens + ones. For example, 365 = 300 + 60 + 5.

Use real-life examples – Think of money. ₹100 notes represent hundreds, ₹10 notes represent tens, and ₹1 coins represent ones.

Check your work – Add up the expanded form to make sure it gives you back the original number.
