Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. Place value helps us count on and back in 10s and 100s.
  2. Place value helps us to know which digits change as we cross the 100s or 10s boundaries.
  3. The 1s and 10s digits don’t change when you add a 100 to or subtract 100 from a 3-digit number.

Common misconception

Pupils may struggle to cross 100s boundaries when adding 10s.

Base ten blocks can help with this concept. It also helps if children's attention is drawn towards the patterns in the number system.

Keywords

  • 100s boundary - The 100s boundary is the point at which the numbers change into 100s numbers or from one set of hundreds to another.

  • Pattern - A pattern is a repeated set of numbers, shapes or objects.

This lesson covers counting in 10s and 100s. Pupils may find base ten blocks helpful in understanding why digits change or don't change when 10 or 100 is added or subtracted.
