Numbers: 100 to 999

We'll use this place value block to show one hundred.

Let's look at how we can show numbers using these hundred blocks.

What does 247 look like?

What does 422 look like?

What does 571 look like?

Watch where the 0 goes

Look at the numbers 206 and 260 below. It is very important to use 0 when there are no ones or tens or hundreds. The place where the 0 goes makes a big difference.

You don't need to include the zeros at the left of the number.

We think 0 hundreds, 5 tens, and 8 ones.
We write 58.
We say fifty-eight.

Try these two charts to help your child practice with place values with numbers to 999.

• Place Value Chart #3 - Highlight the hundreds, tens, and ones blocks to match the number shown on the right-hand side.
• Place Value Chart #4 - Write the value of the hundreds, tens and the ones to make the number shown on the right.

Hint: Uncheck the "Show Numbers" box to print charts onto which you can write any number you like.
