​ 800 80 8 888

​ 700 70 7 777

​ 600 60 6 666

​ 500 50 5 555

​Look carefully at this picture, can you tell the place values?

​

​ ACTIVITY#1

​Create a 3 digit number to break down and write in numbers.

​

Example: 764

Hundreds Tens Units

700 60 4

​ ACTIVITY #2

​Create and write down a 3 digit number to break down and write in words.

​Example: 253 2 hundreds, 50 tens and 3 units

​In words- Two hundred and fifty three

​The grid shows how you can count up in tens or hundreds. So counting on in tens, starting at 40 is fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety but then we are at the top of that column, so you have to say one hundred. Still counting on in tens gives one hundred and ten, one hundred and twenty, and so on.
