Key Facts & Information

PLACE VALUE MODELS

  • The number ten (10) is composed of ten ones.
  • 100 – In this case, there are 10 tens in 1 hundred.
  • 1000 – In this case, there are 10 hundreds in 1 thousand.

HUNDREDS, TENS, AND ONES PLACE VALUES

  • Example: number 243
  • The digit 2 is in the hundreds place. Its value is 200.
  • The digit 4 is in the tens place. Its value is 40.
  • The digit 3 is in the ones place. Its value is 3.
  • The standard form is 243.
  • You read it as two hundred forty-three.
  • The expanded form is 200 + 40 + 3.

COMPARING THREE-DIGIT NUMBERS

  • To compare three-digit numbers, we first have to look at the leftmost digit, or the digit in the hundreds place value.
  • Example 1: Let us compare 163 and 245.
  • The leftmost digit of 163 is 1, while the leftmost digit of 245 is 2.
  • Now, let us compare the the value of 1 and 2.
  • We have established that two is greater than one. Therefore, 245 is greater than 163. This is the case when the leftmost digit or the digit in the hundreds place value are not the same.
  • Example 2: Let us compare 538 and 567.
  • What if the leftmost digits of two numbers are the same?
  • To compare three-digit numbers, we first have to look at the leftmost digit, or the digit in the hundreds place value.
  • In this case, the leftmost digits of the two numbers are both 5.
  • Now, we have to look at the next digit from the left, or the digit in the tens place.
  • Let us compare 3 and 6.
  • Since we know that 6 is greater than 3, we can see that 567 is greater than 538.
  • Example 3: Let us compare 101 and 101.
  • This third example involves both the leftmost digits and the rightmost digits of two numbers being the same.
  • The appropriate sign to use is the equal sign, signifying that the two numbers are equal or the same.
