Place value table

On this page children practise reading and filling a three-column place-value table for hundreds, tens, and ones. Start with the short method and the examples, then use the online practice or print a worksheet with answers.

How to solve this

  • The place value table has three columns — H (hundreds), T (tens), O (ones) — each digit goes in exactly one column.
  • Write the hundreds digit under H, tens under T, ones under O; leading zeros are not written.
  • Check by reading the table left to right: H×100 + T×10 + O must equal the original number.

Examples

hundreds: 4, tens: 2, ones: 7

427

583

5 hundreds + 8 tens + 3 ones
