  • Read number words to 1,000
  • Write numbers in words
  • Show one number in many ways

How to Use This Pack

Five pages on the forms of a three-digit number. Page 1 starts with base-ten blocks: write the number, then its expanded form, then the same for numbers alone; a place with a zero is left out (506 = 500 + 6). Page 2 turns expanded forms back into numbers, some written out of order (7 + 200 + 50) or with a place missing (600 + 9), then asks for the missing part of an expanded form. Page 3 reads number words such as "five hundred seven" and writes the number; page 4 does the reverse, with a word bank of every word needed on both pages. Page 5 breaks a hundred into ten tens or a ten into ten ones, so 235 is also 1 hundred 13 tens 5 ones, 2 hundreds 2 tens 15 ones and 23 tens 5 ones; students then circle every card that shows a number. Each page starts with a worked example.

In the Classroom

Page 2's out-of-order sums are worth a minute of talk: does 7 + 200 + 50 make 725 or 257? Have students sort the parts into a place value table first. Before page 5, build 235 with blocks and trade a flat for ten rods: the number did not change, only the way it is shown.

At Home

Write a number on a sticky note and say it three ways: "three hundred forty-two", "300 + 40 + 2", "3 hundreds 4 tens 2 ones". Read prices and page numbers aloud the same way.

Tips for Success

  • Expanded form adds the value of each digit: 342 = 300 + 40 + 2
  • Leave out a place with a zero: 506 = 500 + 6
  • Sort out-of-order parts by place before you write the number
  • Number words between 21 and 99 take a hyphen: forty-two
  • Trading a hundred for ten tens does not change the number

Common Core Standards Alignment

This pack supports the following Common Core State Standards for Mathematics:

  • 2.NBT.A.1a See ten tens grouped together as one unit called a hundred.
  • 2.NBT.A.1b Know that 100, 200 and so on up to 900 mean 1 to 9 hundreds with no tens or ones.
  • 2.NBT.A.3 Read and write numbers up to 1,000 as digits, in words, and in expanded form (like 300 + 40 + 7).
  • 2.NBT.B.7 Add and subtract to 1,000 with models and place-value strategies, working hundreds, tens and ones separately and regrouping tens or hundreds as needed.

Expanded Form and Number Words

2nd Grade

A 5-page 2nd grade pack for reading and writing numbers to 1,000 in every form. Write base-ten blocks and numbers in expanded form (506 = 500 + 6), turn expanded forms back into numbers, even out of order (7 + 200 + 50), and find a missing part. Read number words and write the number, then write numbers in words with a word bank. The last page shows one number many ways: 235 is 2 hundreds 3 tens 5 ones, 1 hundred 13 tens 5 ones or 23 tens 5 ones. Every page comes in color and in black and white. Answer keys included.
