Teacher Resources
Teaching Notes

Combines multiple addends with place value understanding. Strategy: Think about the hundreds digit only (2+3+4=9), then add zeros. This reinforces that place value rules apply consistently across all positions.

Vocabulary
Whole hundreds: Numbers like 100, 200, 300, ending in two zeros.
Place value: The value of a digit based on its position.
Common Mistakes
  • Mixing up place values
  • Adding only two of three numbers
  • Writing 90 instead of 900
  • Forgetting to include all addends
  • Forgetting to write the two zeros in the hundreds place, resulting in answers like '6' instead of '600'.
  • Confusing adding hundreds with adding tens or ones without proper place value understanding.
Differentiation
SupportUse base-ten blocks or hundreds charts to visually represent and count the hundreds.
ChallengeChallenge students to add four or five whole hundreds, or introduce sums that exceed 900 (e.g., 400 + 500 + 200).
Discussion Questions
  • How is adding 100 + 200 + 300 like adding 1 + 2 + 3?
  • Why is understanding place value important when adding hundreds?
  • Can you think of a time outside of school when you might need to add hundreds?
Extension Activities
  • Add 4 whole hundreds.
  • Add whole thousands.
  • Use base-ten blocks.
Parent Tip

Ask your child to count by hundreds up to 1000.
