Hundreds Place: The third digit from the right.
Common Mistakes
  • Removing only one zero instead of two.
  • Adding zeros instead of removing them.
  • Ignoring the pattern and attempting long division for simple cases.
Differentiation
SupportUse place value charts to visualize digit movement.
ChallengeDivide by 1,000 or apply to problems with remainders.
Discussion Questions
  • What happens to the value of a digit when you divide it by 100?
  • How is dividing by 100 similar to dividing by 10?
  • Can we always 'remove' two zeros when dividing by 100? What if the number doesn't end in two zeros?
  • How does understanding division by 100 help with larger numbers?
Extension Activities
  • Use base-ten blocks.
  • Create number patterns.
  • Play 'guess the number'.
Parent Tip

Use money: ask how many dollars are in a certain number of dimes.
