The question

Question: what comes after 199?

What comes after 199?

We write it in numbers.

The box is the number we want.

= 199, □

1 Find 199

Here is a number line.

2 Go one step right

We land on 200.

3 Write the number

So after 199 comes 200.

= 199, 200

Careful!

After 9 ones, the ones start again at 0.

The tens go up by 1.

Careful: 199 → 200: the ones start again at 0

4 Check

We check it the other way.

Before 200 comes 199.

Yes!

It works.

Before 200 comes 199

Let's look back.
