What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students interpret 100, 200, and the other exact hundreds through 900 as groups of hundreds. They recognize that these numerals contain zero tens and zero ones.

What Mastery Looks Like

A student explains that 600 is six hundreds, zero tens, and zero ones. The student builds it with six hundred-flats and matches the model to the numeral.

Common Misconceptions

Students may read 600 as six or as six tens because they ignore place value. They may think the zeros are unnecessary rather than placeholders for no tens and no ones.

How to Assess It

Show the numeral 700 and ask the student to build it, name each place's value, and explain the two zeros.

Lesson moves

Ways to Teach It

  1. Stack hundred-flats for each exact hundred from 100 through 900 and match every stack to its numeral.

  2. Ask students what the zeros tell us in 400.

  3. Play exact-hundreds match with models, numerals, number names, and place-value descriptions.

  4. Represent attendance or supply totals that come in complete groups of 100 with no leftovers.
