Reading Three-Digit Numbers

Grade 2 · Math · Place Value to 1000 · Nova Scotia, Canada

Lesson Summary

Practice reading and writing numbers from 100 to 999 using their names.

Explanation

To read a three-digit number, say the hundreds part first, then the rest. For 247, say 'two hundred forty-seven.' For a number like 305, say 'three hundred five' because there are zero tens. Practice reading numbers out loud so they become easy to recognize. Writing numbers in words helps you understand them better too.
