Expanded Form Worksheets for 2nd Grade

What your child practices

Expanded Form is a key 2nd grade math skill (Grade 2 in Canada), and these 50 worksheets add up to 600 questions of practice. In the early grades, number sense grows through lots of short, hands on practice, and Expanded Form is one of the building blocks teachers return to all year. Each of the 50 versions of Expanded Form has new questions, so your child can repeat the skill without memorizing answers. Each sheet supports Common Core 2.NBT.A.3, covering place value and using it to add, subtract, multiply and divide. In Canada it matches the BC curriculum for Grade 3. Answer keys sit on page 2 of each PDF, so checking takes seconds. New to the idea? Watch the Expanded Form video lesson, then print a sheet while it is fresh.

Tips for parents

• Keep counters, blocks or fingers nearby. Young children learn numbers best when they can touch them.
• Ask your child to explain one answer out loud. Talking through Expanded Form shows you where the thinking is solid.
• Set a timer for ten minutes and stop when it rings. Short, regular practice beats one long session.
