About this resource

If you want to give students extra practice with place value, I have just the resource for you.

What You Get:

This is a Breaking up Numbers Worksheet Set that was designed for primary students who are working on or have mastered this skill. It also works well as a review for students. There are 2 separate PDFs included:

-  Breaking Up 3-Digit Numbers Worksheet

-  Breaking Up 4-Digit Numbers Worksheet

How To Implement This Resource:

You can print off enough copies of these worksheets for each student to have. You may also choose to print only a few copies and laminate those. If you choose to laminate them, students can use dry-wipe markers to solve the problems. This is a great activity to place into a maths centre or small group activity.

These activities can be completed independently. You may even choose to have students complete some of the activities in small groups or partners.

I hope you enjoy!
