Math Magic Time!

How Does It Work?

First comes ones, then comes tens…
Tens turn into hundreds, and the fun never ends!
Here’s how we do it:

1. Look at the ones place. That’s where tiny numbers live, like 1, 2, or 3.
2. If you have 10 ones, they magically become one ten. Poof! Like magic!
3. Ten tens join hands to make one hundred. Wow, teamwork!

Let’s Try an Example Together!

Say we have 234. What does this mean?
- The 4 lives in the ones place.
- The 3 lives in the tens place, which means 3 groups of 10—or 30.
- The 2 lives in the hundreds place, which means 2 groups of 100—or 200.

So, 234 = 200 + 30 + 4. Yay, math puzzle solved!

Tips for Superhero Parents 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️

• Use colorful blocks or candies to show ones, tens, and hundreds. Kids love hands-on learning!
• Repeat key ideas often but keep it playful. “Ones are small, tens are tall!”
• Celebrate every little win. High-fives build confidence!
