2nd Grade Place Value to 1,000 Quiz: 10 Questions with Explanations

A \(235\)B \(523\)C \(253\)D \(2{,}053\)

There are 2 flats, 5 rods and 3 cubes, so the number is 253. Mixing up the places gives 235 or 523.

A \(60\)B \(6\)C \(600\)D \(360\)

The 6 is in the tens place, so it is worth 6 tens, or 60. Students often give the digit alone or pick the wrong place.

A \(400 + 8\)B \(400 + 80\)C \(40 + 8\)D \(4 + 0 + 8\)

408 has 4 hundreds, 0 tens and 8 ones, so it is 400 + 8. Writing 80 moves the 8 into the tens place.

A two hundred fifty-sevenB two hundred seventyC two hundred seventy-fiveD seven hundred twenty-five

275 is 2 hundreds, 7 tens and 5 ones. Switching the digits changes the number.

A 1 tenB 10 tensC 100 tensD 20 tens

Count by 10s ten times to reach 100. Students sometimes think 100 tens because the number is 100.

A \(704\)B \(740\)C \(74\)D \(780\)

The point is 4 ticks after 700, and each tick is 10. That is 740. Writing 704 confuses tens with ones.

A \(960\)B \(96\)C \(609\)D \(906\)

The chart shows 9 hundreds, 0 tens and 6 ones. The 0 holds the tens place, so the number is 906, not 96.

A \(518\)B \(152\)C \(285\)D \(905\)

In 152, the digits are 1 hundred, 5 tens and 2 ones. In 518 the 5 is in the hundreds place, and in 285 and 905 it is in the ones place.

A 10 hundredsB 1 hundredC 100 hundredsD 1,000 hundreds

Counting by 100s ten times reaches 1,000, so 10 hundreds make 1,000.

A \(390\)B \(39\)C \(3{,}009\)D \(309\)

There are 3 hundreds, no tens and 9 ones, so the number is 309. The zero must be written in the tens place.
