Understanding 100
When we have 99 beads and add 1 more, we get 100, which is the start of three-digit numbers.

In a three-digit number, the first digit from the left shows how many hundreds we have, just like 10 tens make 1 hundred.
Reading and Writing Numbers up to 200
Learning to say and write number names from 101 (one hundred one) up to 200 (two hundred).
