Pick a number card. Draw base-ten blocks to represent the number, then label the hundreds, tens, and ones.
This activity focuses on helping students master the concept of 3-digit numbers through visual modeling using base-ten blocks. Students will represent various 3-digit numbers by breaking them down into hundreds, tens, and ones. The exercise includes drawing base-ten models (flats for hundreds, rods for tens, and units for ones) and allows for the decomposition of numbers to enhance understanding of their value. Additionally, students will work with number cards that feature different 3-digit numbers and will have a challenge task where they write the numbers in expanded form, further solidifying their grasp of place value concepts.
