Victorino harvested
some ears of sweet
corn for boiling.
He put them in
small sacks of 10
pieces per sack.
Let us count them.
10 10 10 10 10 10
There are 6 sacks
There are 10 pieces of sweet corn in
each sack.
There are 6 sacks of ten or 6 tens.
To find the value of 6 tens, we simply skip
count by 10s, six times.
10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60
The value of 6 tens is 60.
We write 60 in a place value chart like this:
TENS ONES
6 0

60 means 6 tens and 0 ones or 60 + 0.

Panfilo harvested
sweet corns also.
He got 7 sacks with
10 pieces per sack.
There are also 4
more pieces of
sweetcorn.
How many ears of
sweetcorn did
Panfilo harvest?
10 10 10 10 10 10 10
There are 7 sacks.
Each sack has 10 pieces of sweetcorn.
There are also 4 more ears of
sweetcorn.
There are 7 tens and 4 ones.
To find the value of 4 ones, simply count the
individual pieces: 1, 2, 3, 4.
The value of 7 tens is 70. The value of 4 ones
is 4.
We put them together, 70 + 4 = 74.
We write 74 in a place value chart like this:
TENS ONES
7 4
When we use numbers up to hundreds,
we use the place value chart below.
We write 100 in the place value chart
like this:
Hundreds Tens Ones
1 0 0
For numbers like 237 0r 495, we just put
the digits in their respective place values
as follows:
Hundreds Tens Ones
2 3 7
4 9 5
Hence,

237= 2 hundreds, 3 tens, and 7 ones or 200,

30, 7.
It is read as “two hundred thirty-seven”.

495= 4 hundreds, 9 tens, and 5 ones or 400,

90, 5.
It is read as “four hundred ninety-five”.
•Two-digit numbers have
digits in the tens and
ones places.
•Three-digit numbers

hundreds, tens, and one
places.
