Understanding Place Value Concepts

This video tutorial teaches how to represent numbers up to 999 using blocks called short, long, and flat, each representing units, tens, and hundreds, respectively. Through examples, the video demonstrates how to calculate numbers by counting these blocks and then expands numbers into hundreds, tens, and ones using a table format.
