Place Value & Abacus Practice Worksheets for Classes 1–5 | 50 Worksheets + Cards, Games & Answer Keys (Printable PDF)Make place value visible, one bead at a time

Place value is the foundation of all arithmetic. Many children can recite numbers but don’t really understand why the 3 in 30 is worth more than the 3 in 3. This workbook fixes that with a simple, consistent place-value bead abacus: one rod for each place, one bead for each unit.
