Grade 6 Math Worksheet: Whole Numbers — Place Value, Rounding & Order of Operations

Student Task

• Hand out after the teacher has presented place value, rounding, and the order of operations (using the companion PowerPoint or Lesson Plan). Students complete Parts 1–2 as guided/pair practice and Parts 3–4 independently. A checklist at the end lets students self-check before submitting.

Classroom Use

• Have students compare their Part 2 rounding answers with a partner before checking the key.
• Use Part 3 (order of operations) as a quick relay race: teams solve one expression each on the board.

Differentiation

Support: Provide a place value chart reference card during independent work; let students use the number-line diagram when rounding; pair weaker students with a partner for the order-of-operations practice; keep word problem numbers under 1,000 if needed.

Extension: Challenge students to round the same number to three different place values and compare the results; ask students to write their own 3-operation expression with a target answer of exactly 100; have students explain in writing why multiplication and division must happen before addition and subtraction.

Answer Key & Assessment

Collect the completed worksheet as a formative check. The included answer key allows quick marking of all four parts; use the Grading Rubric for the word problems in Part 4.

Learning Objectives
