Which sheet to choose

In the Common Core, reading and writing numbers to 1000 in expanded form is grade 2 work, numbers to a million with their number names grade 4, and decimals to thousandths grade 5. Start with three-digit numbers, then back to standard form, then larger numbers. The multiplication sheet writes each digit times its place, the way grade 5 writes decimals, and the word form sheet asks for all three forms of each number.

What expanded form means

Expanded form writes a number as the sum of what each digit is worth: 506 = 500 + 6, because the 5 is worth 500 and the 6 is worth 6. A 0 is left out, so there is no 0 for the tens. A 1 in the tens place is worth 10: 314 = 300 + 10 + 4. Larger numbers work the same way: 40,615 = 40,000 + 600 + 10 + 5.

Back to standard form

Put each part in its place and write a 0 in any place that has nothing: 400 + 7 is 4 hundreds, 0 tens and 7 ones, so 407, not 47. When the parts come out of order, as 7 + 400 + 30, sort them by place first: 437.

Word form and multiplication

Word form writes the number as it is said: 23,407 is twenty-three thousand, four hundred seven. Numbers from twenty-one to ninety-nine take a hyphen, and in the US there is no "and" in a whole number. With multiplication, each digit is multiplied by its place: 432 = 4 × 100 + 3 × 10 + 2 × 1.

Decimals

The places after the point are tenths, hundredths and thousandths, so 3.07 = 3 × 1 + 7 × (1/100): there are no tenths, and the 7 is in the hundredths. The Common Core writes 347.392 = 3 × 100 + 4 × 10 + 7 × 1 + 3 × (1/10) + 9 × (1/100) + 2 × (1/1000).

Counting money worksheets

Count the coins and write the total in cents: pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters drawn at their real size, six groups a page, totals under a dollar, with the answers on the key. Leave out the quarters for an easier sheet. New coins each time.

Number bonds worksheets

Number bonds to 10: the whole in the top circle, its two parts below, and one of the three left empty to fill in. Choose the largest whole, up to 100, and how many bonds; the answer key is on the last page.

Place value worksheets

Place value practice with numbers of 2 to 5 digits: half the questions ask what one digit is worth, as the 4 in 3,482 is worth 400, and half ask for the number in expanded form, as 3,000 + 400 + 80 + 2. The answer key is on the last page.

Measuring length worksheets

Six lines drawn at their true length, to measure with a ruler from the left end and write down to the nearest half inch, then two lines to draw at a given length, with a ruler to cut out at the foot of the page and the answers on page 2. Choose whole, half, quarter or eighth inches, or whole or half centimetres.

Measuring angles worksheets

Six angles a page, drawn at their true size from 10 to 170 degrees in steps of 5, to measure with a protractor and circle as acute, right or obtuse, with the answers on the key. One arm lies flat to start, pointing left or right; on the harder sheet both arms turn. New angles each time.

2D shapes worksheets

Eight flat shapes a page to name, and to count the sides and corners of: triangle, square, rectangle, rhombus, trapezoid, pentagon, hexagon, octagon, circle and oval, with the answers on the key. On the harder sheet each shape is turned and the triangles and rectangles change shape, so the name rests on the sides. New shapes each time.
