4 IN A ROW game to practice
'3-digit number plus multiple of 100' for 2nd grade

Mental calculations: 3 digit numbers plus hundreds

Learn how to add multiples of one hundred to 3 digit numbers

When we want to add a smaller number to a bigger number, there are sometimes shortcuts that make it easier. If one of the numbers is 100 or a multiple of 100, adding that number to another number just means increasing the hundreds column of the other number by the number of hundreds you are adding.

So, for instance, if you want to add:

657 + 200

all you need to do is add 2 to the hundreds column value which is 6, so you get 8 for the hundreds column. The rest of the other number stays the same, so the total addition looks like this:

657 + 200 = 857

In the same way, adding 419 and 400 gives:

419 + 400 = 819

It is the same idea if you want to add units to 3 digit numbers but this time you would add to the units column value by the number of units you want to add, so, for instance, 271 + 5 = 276 because all we had to do was add 5 to the units column value to get an answer.

With our Four in a row math game you will be practicing the topic "3-digit number plus multiple of 100" from 2nd grade / Addition / Mental calculations. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to use mental calculations to add the given multiple of 100 to a three-digit number.

Mental calculations: adding units, tens and hundreds to 3 digit numbers

Learn how to add units, tens and hundreds to 3 digit numbers with the sub-category "Mental calculations"

3 topics:
Three digit number plus units
Three digit number plus tens
Three digit number plus hundreds

Sometimes in math the most useful skill you can have is to be able to do complicated sums in your head, but don't worry, it's not magic, there's are techniques you can learn.

When we want to add a smaller number to a bigger number, there are sometimes shortcuts that make it easier. If the smaller number is 10 or a multiple of 10, adding that number to a bigger number just means increasing the tens column of the bigger number by the number of tens you are adding.

So, for instance, if you want to add:

30 + 248

all you need to do is add 3 to the tens column value which is 4, so you get 7 for the tens column. The rest of the big number stays the same, so the total addition looks like this:

30 + 248 = 278

It is the same idea if you want to add hundreds but this time you would add to the hundreds column value by the number of hundreds you want to add. Adding units is often just going to affect the units column, so for instance, 271 + 5 = 276 because all we had to do was add 5 to the units column value to get an answer.

Four in a row is similar to the paper game "Noughts and crosses" but we have changed it into a one-person math learning / revision game. The aim of the game is to win 4 cells in a row from a grid of 16 cells.
