Now we count and write whole numbers up to 1000, using hundreds, tens and ones.
Place value
In 356: the 3 means 300 (hundreds), the 5 means 50 (tens) and the 6 means 6 (ones). So 356 = 300 + 50 + 6.
Remember
- Three digits: hundreds, tens, ones — from left to right.
- Compare hundreds first, then tens, then ones.
