Three-Digit Numbers

Three-Digit Numbers, Place Value

3-digit numbers start from 100 and go on till 999.

A 3-digit number cannot start with 0. It can have two zeros but the zeros should be

in the tens place and the units place.

In math, every digit in a number has a place value. Place value is the value of

each digit in a number.

In a 3-digit number, there are three place values used – hundreds, tens, and units.

I am so excited to introduce my Place Value Chart that I thought you all might enjoy

as well. Help your students with their understanding of place value with this kit.
