Place Value and Scientific Notation Worksheets

Make worksheets for place value topics, such as writing a number in expanded form, or writing a number given in expanded form, in normal form. Then you can also make worksheets for scientific notation: either to write a given number in scientific notation, or vice versa.

You can customize the worksheets in various ways: you can choose the maximum number of digits and maximum number of decimal digits used in the problem. The script will automatically vary the number of digits in the problems, up to that limit. You can also choose your multiplication symbol, decimals separator, and thousands separator.
