Tired of the same old place value worksheets? If your students’ eyes glaze over when you mention expanded notation or comparing numbers, it might be time to try something new.
The Place Value to 100,000 Passport Project takes your students on a math-themed trip around the world—and now it includes a supplemental video that brings each country to life! It’s a fun, flexible way to review place value skills without losing engagement (or your sanity).
What Is the Place Value to 100,000 Passport Project?
This printable passport booklet gives your 3rd graders a meaningful review of key place value concepts like:
- Identifying place value to 100,000
- Comparing and ordering numbers
- Expanded form and expanded notation
- Rounding to the nearest 10 and 100
Each stop on the journey features a new country with a quick math activity focused on one or more of those skills. No two pages are exactly the same, which helps keep students on their toes.
The project covers TEKS 3.2A–3.2D and works great as a weeklong math center, a sub plan, or an independent review project. And with the new video, it’s even easier to use.

- Independent Practice: Assign a country per day for early finishers or morning work.
