Learning journey

Your child is mastering larger numbers — learning to read, write, and work with numbers up to 1000 by understanding how hundreds, tens, and ones work together.

Evidence of understanding

  • Given a three-digit number, state what is 10 more and 10 less
  • Given a three-digit number, state what is 100 more and 100 less
  • Explain the strategy using place-value understanding (e.g. only the tens/hundreds digit changes)

Assessment prompt

Can 10 or 100 More or Less quickly work out '10 more than 342' or '100 less than 875' in their head — knowing which digit changes and which stays the same?
