Class 3 Mathematics • Maths Mela • Chapter 9 • 2026–27
Answer-first chapter overview
Understanding hundreds, tens and ones extends naturally to 1,000. Number patterns and number lines help locate, compare and estimate larger numbers.
Learning goals
Students practise numbers to 1,000, place value, representation, number lines, comparison, estimation and patterns. The emphasis is on explaining a method, checking an answer and using mathematics in familiar situations.
Worked example
806 has 8 hundreds, 0 tens and 6 ones. The zero is important because it holds the tens place.
Hands-on activity
Choose a three-digit starting number and build four patterns: +1, +10, +100 and −10.
Practice questions
- Represent 690 in expanded form.
- Which is greater: 709 or 790?
- Complete: 560, 660, 760, __, __.
How should a student use this page?
