Understanding Block Representation

The video tutorial explains how to count blocks using a structured approach, focusing on understanding the place value of numbers. It begins with counting blocks in a 10x10 square, leading to a total of 240 blocks. The tutorial emphasizes the significance of place value, showing how digits in different positions represent different quantities. The concept is further illustrated with examples, highlighting how numbers in the hundreds, tens, and ones places contribute to the overall value.
