The Talking Pot : If you say 158, the Talking Pot will say 159.
Explanation : The Talking Pot always says the next number. So, after 158, the next number is 159.
Write the following numbers in words:
a) 145 : One hundred forty-five
b) 199 : One hundred ninety-nine
Draw matchstick bundles to represent the number 183.
To represent the number 183 using matchstick bundles, we break the number down into hundreds, tens, and units.
100s : For the 1 in the hundreds place, you make 1 bundle of 100.
80s : For the 8 in the tens place, you make 8 bundles of 10 which represent 80.
3s : For the 3 in the units place, you use 3 single matchsticks to represent 3.
Combine these to make a visual representation of the number using matchsticks.
