Numbers up to 1000 (Class 2)

What this worksheet covers

This is a fifteen-question practice worksheet on numbers up to 1000 for Class 2, written to the pattern of the SOF International Mathematics Olympiad (IMO). It carries 18 marks and is designed to be attempted in 35 minutes, split across three sections — Place Value and Number Names, Comparing and Ordering and Achievers Section. Every question is multiple choice with exactly one correct option, and every one comes with a fully worked solution rather than just an answer key — so a child who gets one wrong can see where the reasoning went astray instead of only learning that it did.

Sample questions from this worksheet

A preview of what's inside Numbers up to 1000 (Class 2) — the PDF has the full set, and every question comes with a worked solution like these.

1. 1. In the number 428, the digit 4 is in the _______ place.

   • AOnes
   • BTens
   • CThousands
   • DHundredscorrect
   Solution: Reading from the right: 8 is in the ones place, 2 in the tens place and 4 in the hundreds place. So 4 stands for 400.

2. 2. Arrange 512, 125, 251 and 215 from biggest to smallest.

   • A512, 251, 215, 125correct
   • B125, 215, 251, 512
   • C512, 215, 251, 125
   • D251, 512, 125, 215
   Solution: Compare hundreds: 5, 1, 2, 2. So 512 is biggest and 125 is smallest. For 251 and 215 the hundreds match, so compare tens: 5 is more than 1. The order is 512, 251, 215, 125.

3. 3. Using the digits 3, 8 and 5 once each, what is the greatest three-digit number that can be made?

   • A358
   • B583
   • C835
   • D853correct
   Solution: To make the biggest number, put the largest digit in the hundreds place, then the next largest in the tens. The digits in order from largest are 8, 5, 3, giving 853.
