Write whole numbers to 1,000

This understanding connects quantities from 0 through 1,000 with their written numerals, using the positions of hundreds, tens, and ones to record each value accurately. It includes interpreting zero as a place holder when a place has no units and distinguishing the value of a digit from its written position, establishing a foundation for comparing numbers and performing addition and subtraction with place value.

Detailed Explanation: Write whole numbers to 1,000

To write a whole number, look at how many hundreds, tens, and ones it has. Write those digits in the order:

hundredstensones\text{hundreds}\quad \text{tens}\quad \text{ones}

Example: Write the number with 5 hundreds, 0 tens, and 8 ones.

  1. Put the hundreds digit first: 55.
  2. Put the tens digit next: 00. The zero shows that there are no tens.
  3. Put the ones digit last: 88.

So, the number is:

508\boxed{508}

The digit 55 has a value of 500500 because it is in the hundreds place. The digit 88 has a value of 88 because it is in the ones place. Thus,

500+0+8=508500+0+8=508
