options: Count within 1000; skip-count by 5s, 10s, and 100s.

Compare two three-digit numbers based on meanings of the hundreds, tens, and ones digits, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.

Understand that the three digits of a three-digit number represent amounts of hundreds, tens, and ones; e.g., 706 equals 7 hundreds, 0 tens, and 6 ones. Understand the following as special cases:
- 100 can be thought of as a bundle of ten tens — called a “hundred.”
- The numbers 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 refer to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine hundreds (and 0 tens and 0 ones).

Read and write numbers to 1000 using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to learn stage 2 of the Mystery Number center. Students pick 3 cards and make a mystery three-digit number. Students give clues based on the sentence starters and their partner tries to guess their number. Students should remove cards that show 10 from their deck. When they give clues and guess the number, students demonstrate understanding of the base-ten system, both the  meaning of each digit in a number and the order of the numbers (MP7).
