Let’s get started
Each digit has a place: hundreds, tens, or ones.
Learn together
- Read 326 as 3 hundreds, 2 tens, 6 ones.
- Write its expanded form: 300 + 20 + 6.
- Represent 326 using drawings of hundreds squares, tens rods, and ones dots.
Example to explore
326 = 300 + 20 + 6
Try it yourself
- In 472, what does the 7 mean?
- How many hundreds are in 800?
- What is 500 + 30 + 4?
Hands-on project
Design a “number museum” for 149, 326 and 508 with word form, expanded form and a base-ten sketch.
Reflect and grow
How does place value help you read large numbers?
