Q2. How can I help my child compare three-digit numbers confidently?
Practise comparing the hundreds digit first, then the tens digit, and finally the ones digit if needed, using real number cards for extra practice.

Count forward and backward by 10s and 5s starting from different numbers close to 200, such as 150, 170, or 195.
