🎯 Objective:
For each 3-digit number, identify the digit in the
hundreds,

🔢 Understanding Place Values:
In a 3-digit number:
- The
first digit (leftmost) is the
hundreds place.
- The
middle digit is the
tens place.
- The
last digit (rightmost) is the
ones place.
Example:
For

- 1 = hundreds
- 7 = tens
- 5 = ones
This is already done for you as an example.

💡 Explanation:
You’re practicing
place value, which means understanding that each digit in a number has a value based on its position:
-
Hundreds = how many groups of 100
-
Tens = how many groups of 10
-
Ones = single units
For example, in
892:
- 8 × 100 = 800
- 9 × 10 = 90
- 2 × 1 = 2
So, 800 + 90 + 2 =
892
