Problem Description:
The task involves rolling a die three times, recording the numbers rolled, and then creating a 3-digit number using those rolls. Afterward, you need to represent the created number using base ten blocks.
Given Information:
-
Roll 1: 1
-
Roll 2: 3
-
Roll 3: 2
- The resulting 3-digit number is
132.
Objective:
1. Represent the number
132 using base ten blocks.
2. Explain the solution step by step.

Solution:
#### Step 1: Understand Base Ten Blocks
Base ten blocks are a visual representation of numbers using:
-
Cubes (Thousands): Represent 1,000 each.
-
Flats (Hundreds): Represent 100 each.
-
Rods (Tens): Represent 10 each.
-
Units (Ones): Represent 1 each.
For the number
132, we break it down into its place values:
-
1 Hundred: This corresponds to 1 flat.
-
3 Tens: This corresponds to 3 rods.
-
2 Ones: This corresponds to 2 units.
#### Step 2: Draw the Base Ten Blocks
Now, let's draw the base ten blocks for the number
132:
1.
Hundreds Place (1 Flat):
- Draw 1 flat block to represent 100.
2.
Tens Place (3 Rods):
- Draw 3 rod blocks to represent 30 (3 × 10).
3.
Ones Place (2 Units):
- Draw 2 unit blocks to represent 2.
#### Step 3: Visual Representation
Here is how the base ten blocks would look for the number
132:
-
1 Flat: A single square representing 100.
-
3 Rods: Three long rectangles representing 30.
-
2 Units: Two small squares representing 2.
Visually, it can be represented as:
```
Flat: ☐
Rods: | | |
Units: ● ●
```
#### Step 4: Fill in the Table
In the provided table, under the "Base Ten Blocks" column, you would draw the corresponding blocks:
- Draw 1 flat.
- Draw 3 rods.
- Draw 2 units.

Final Answer:
The number
132 is represented using:
-
1 Flat (100),
-
3 Rods (30),
-
2 Units (2).
The base ten blocks for
132 are:
```
Flat: ☐
Rods: | | |
Units: ● ●
```
Thus, the final answer is:
\boxed{1 \text{ flat}, 3 \text{ rods}, 2 \text{ units}}
