Expanded Form Worksheets
Expanded form makes place value visible: 472 is 400 + 70 + 2. It is worth more than it looks, because almost every carrying and borrowing error further up the curriculum is a place-value error in disguise.

What to watch for when you grade this sheet
- Writing 400 + 7 + 2 — using the digit rather than its value.
- Dropping a zero place entirely, writing 405 as 400 + 5 with no tens acknowledged.
- Reversing the order of the terms.
One thing that helps
Include numbers with internal zeros on purpose. 3,047 is where expanded form stops being mechanical.
