Understanding 100 (A Century)

Ten tens make one hundred, which is written as 100 and is the start of 3-digit numbers.

Reading and Writing up to 200

Numbers from 101 to 200 are read and written using hundred, tens, and ones place values.

Place Value in 3-Digit Numbers

Every digit in a 3-digit number has a position: Hundreds, Tens, and Ones, starting from the left.

Comparing Numbers up to 200

We compare numbers by first looking at the hundreds digit, then the tens digit, and finally the ones digit.

Skip Counting up to 200

Counting numbers by skips of 2s, 5s, 10s, and 50s helps in quick calculation up to 200.
