You compare to find out what is the same and what is different. You compare numbers to find out if one is more than or less than another.

You can order numbers from the smallest to the largest or from the largest to the smallest.

Position 3-digit numbers on number lines

Estimate the position of 3-digit numbers on unmarked number lines

Comparing and ordering numbers with 1, 2 and 3 digits

Use known facts to add and subtract multiples of 100 within 1000

Write a 3-digit multiple of 10 as a multiplication equation

Partition 3-digit numbers in different ways

Use known facts to solve problems involving partitioning numbers

Use known facts to add and subtract to and from multiples of 100

Count forwards and backwards in multiples of 2, 20, 5, 50 and 25

Solve problems by counting forwards and backwards in multiples of 2, 20, 5, 50 and 25

In this unit pupils will use knowledge of place value to represent a 3-digit number in different ways. They will compare and order 3-digit numbers and position on number lines and unmarked number lines. In the future unit pupils will compare and order 4-digit numbers. They will learn what rounding is and will round 4-digit numbers to the nearest thousand, hundred and ten.

 In the prior unit pupils explored the counting sequence to 100 and beyond representing the numbers from 20-99 in different ways including on a number line They learned to represent 20-99 as a length In this unit pupils will use knowledge of place value to represent a 3-digit number in different ways They will compare and order 3-digit numbers and position on number lines and unmarked number lines

In this unit pupils will use knowledge of place value to represent a 3-digit number in different ways. They will compare and order 3-digit numbers and position on number lines and unmarked number lines.
