How to do it

A hundred is 10 tens. 245 is 2 hundreds, 4 tens and 5 ones, or 200 + 40 + 5.

Teaching tip

Watch the zeros: in 507 the 0 keeps the tens place. Without it, 507 would be 57.

Try some: expanded form

366 = ?300 + 60 + 6
493 = ?400 + 90 + 3
663 = ?600 + 60 + 3
931 = ?900 + 30 + 1
718 = ?700 + 10 + 8
131 = ?100 + 30 + 1
322 = ?300 + 20 + 2
701 = ?700 + 1
