Step by step
The question
Question: count back by 100s from 900 to 300.
Count back by 100s from 900 to 300
1 Start at 900
Here is a number line.
2 Jump by 100s
Each jump is 100 less.
We say the number where we land.
3 Write the numbers
Now we write them in a row.
We stop at 300.
= 900, 800, 700, 600, 500, 400, 300
4 Check
Look at the last two digits.
They stay 00.
Only the hundreds change.
Yes!
It works.
Each ends in 00
Let's look back.
First: start at 900.
Then: jump by 100s.
Then: write the numbers.
Last: check.
Answer
= 900, 800, 700, 600, 500, 400, 300
