Place Value to 1,000 · Learning goals
Build three-digit numbers with hundreds, tens and ones, read the value of each digit, compare numbers and skip count by 5s, 10s and 100s.
Why it matters
Knowing that the 4 in 450 means 400 helps kids read, write and compare any number they meet.
Place value is what makes adding and subtracting three-digit numbers possible and accurate.
Skip counting by 10s and 100s shows the patterns that make mental math quick and easy.

Lesson preview
This is the real lesson text your child hears, read aloud by a friendly voice.
10 tens make 1 hundred! A hundred flat has 100 little squares.
This number has 2 hundreds, 4 tens and 5 ones. That's 245!
In 368, the 3 means 3 hundreds or 300. The 6 means 6 tens or 60. The 8 means 8 ones.
To compare, look at the hundreds first. 452 is greater than 425 because 5 tens is more than 2 tens.
Skip count by 100s: 100, 200, 300, 400!
