Squish Numbers Together - Up to Hundreds
π₯ Stack the puzzle pieces! When someone gives you a list of place values, you just squish them into a perfect 3-digit number.
Do this: Read the concept below, then try the quiz or activity.
Concept
This is reading blueprints and building the number.
π― The Number Builder Strategy: "Build a number with 5 Hundreds, 8 Tens, and 2 Ones." 1. Start with the Hundreds. Write the 5. 2. Write the Tens right next to it. Write the 8. 3. Write the Ones right next to it. Write the 2. 4. Squished: 582!
π― The Invisible Zero Trap! "Build a number with 4 Hundreds and 6 Ones." 1. Hundreds: Write the 4. 2. Tens: There are NO TENS LISTED in the sentence! You MUST put a 0. 3. Ones: Write the 6. 4. Squished: 406! (If you forgot the zero, you would write 46, which is totally wrong).
