Place Value Worksheet for Grade 3 - Kidpid - Free Printable

Let’s go through each problem one by one and solve them carefully.

---

Problem 1: Write the largest number you can using the numbers: 6, 4, 9, 3

To make the largest number, we put the biggest digit in the thousands place, then the next biggest in hundreds, and so on.

Digits: 9, 6, 4, 3 → Largest to smallest

So: 9643

✔ Check: 9 > 6 > 4 > 3 → correct order for largest number.

---

Problem 2: Write the smallest number you can using the numbers: 4, 8, 0, 3

Important: We cannot start with 0 (because that would not be a 4-digit number).

Smallest non-zero digit first: 3

Then arrange the rest from smallest to largest: 0, 4, 8

So: 3048

✔ Check: Can’t start with 0 → 3 is smallest valid start → then 0, 4, 8 → yes.

---

Problem 3: Order these numbers from smallest to largest: 5768, 5129, 809, 4300

First, look at how many digits each has:

- 809 → 3 digits → smallest
- Others are 4-digit numbers → compare them

Compare 4-digit numbers:

Look at thousands place:

- 5768 → 5
- 5129 → 5
- 4300 → 4 → smaller than both 5s

So order so far: 809, 4300, then 5129 and 5768

Now compare 5129 and 5768 → same thousands digit (5), look at hundreds:

- 5129 → 1
- 5768 → 7 → bigger

So 5129 < 5768

Final order: 809, 4300, 5129, 5768

✔ Double-check:
809 (smallest)
then 4300
then 5129
then 5768 (largest) — correct.

Problem 4: Write the number before and after:

a) ___ 648 ___

Before = 648 - 1 = 647
After = 648 + 1 = 649

b) ___ 200 ___

Before = 200 - 1 = 199
After = 200 + 1 = 201

✔ Simple counting — no tricks here.

---

Problem 6: Write the number before and after:

a) ___ 1250 ___

Before = 1250 - 1 = 1249
After = 1250 + 1 = 1251

b) ___ 3008 ___

Before = 3008 - 1 = 3007
After = 3008 + 1 = 3009

✔ Again, just subtract/add 1.

---

Problem 7: Subtract and add 10 to 590

Subtract 10: 590 - 10 = 580
Add 10: 590 + 10 = 600

✔ Easy mental math.

---

Problem 8: Subtract and add 10 to 9655

Subtract 10: 9655 - 10 = 9645
Add 10: 9655 + 10 = 9665

✔ Just change the tens digit down or up by 1.
