Add Tens to 3-Digit Numbers: what children learn
Adding tens to a three-digit number changes the tens digit, and sometimes the hundreds too. For 347 + 30 = 377 only the tens change, but 380 + 40 = 420 crosses a hundred.

Add Tens to 3-Digit Numbers: how to help at home or in class
Draw a place-value chart with hundreds, tens and ones columns and write a three-digit number in it using digit cards. Slide extra tens into the tens column one at a time and watch that digit climb. When it passes 9 tens, ask what happens: ten tens turn into a new hundred. Try crossings such as 270 + 60. Your child is ready to move on when they can predict which digits stay unchanged before they start.
