Practice Numbers up to 1000
Numbers up to 1000 are built from hundreds, tens and ones.
Reading, comparing and placing them on a number line builds the place-value understanding that larger numbers depend on.
Exercises with solutions
Numbers up to 1000 consist of hundreds, tens and ones. Read them through their place values, order them on the number line and use neighbouring numbers: what you know about 100 helps you at 1000 – just one place bigger.

Exercise 1
Write the number with 3 hundreds, 4 tens and 7 ones in digits.
Show solution and working
347
Each place value gets a digit: 3 hundreds = 300, 4 tens = 40, 7 ones = 7. Together: 300 + 40 + 7 = 347.
Exercise 2
Which number is the largest: 498, 502 or 489?
Show solution and working
502
Compare the hundreds first: 5 is greater than 4. That makes 502 the largest, while the other two begin with 4.
Exercise 3
Insert the correct sign: 620 ⬜ 602.
Show solution and working
>
Both numbers have 6 hundreds. Then the tens decide: 2 tens beat 0 tens, so 620 is greater than 602.
Exercise 4
Which number lies exactly between 390 and 400?
Show solution and working
395
Between 390 and 400 lie 391, 392, …, 399. Right in the middle is 395.
Common mistake
Mixing up place values: 204 is not 240. In 204, zero tens sit between the 2 hundreds and the 4 ones – the zero only holds the place. On the number line, look at the neighbouring hundreds: 204 lies between 200 and 210, while 240 lies at 240 and beyond.
