How we explain it
Children can open this short lesson before they practice.
- A 3-digit number has hundreds, tens and ones.
- Count by 10s or 100s to move up quickly.
- Compare hundreds first, then tens, then ones.
Example: Count by 10s: 140, 150, 160, 170, ? Each step adds 10. 170 + 10 = 180. Answer: 180
