Expanded Form Worksheets
Each problem gives a number and a long blank line; the student writes it as a sum of place values, 4,523 = 4,000 + 500 + 20 + 3. Zeros are the trap, and the generator includes them: 3,047 expands to 3,000 + 40 + 7 with nothing for the hundreds. The Digits control moves from 2 and 3-digit numbers up to 5 and 6 digits.

FAQ
How are zeros handled?
A place with a zero is simply left out of the sum, which is the standard convention: 3,047 = 3,000 + 40 + 7. Students who write + 0 are not wrong, but the key omits it.
Do the downloads include answer keys?
Yes, every PDF ends with a key page that repeats the layout with the answers in green. Turn the Answer key switch off for a problems-only file.
Can I get different versions for each student?
Turn on the 5 versions switch before downloading. You get five different sheets in one PDF, each with its own answer key, so neighbouring desks cannot copy.
What digit lengths are available?
Two to three digits for second grade, four for third, five to six for fourth and up. Switch with the Digits control; the answer line grows with the number.
Can students work these on a tablet?
Yes. Practice online puts a pen tool over the same sheet, so answers can be written with a stylus or finger and wiped for another try.
