Let’s say these numbers out loud, and also figure out what the numbers stand for, just like we did on page 51. But this time, we have the hundreds (tonbreads) place, too. I’ll do the first one for you!

Say this out loud: “706 green frogs.”

How many frogs does the 7 stand for?

Let’s Play: Okay, I know you can’t hear me, but it would sound like “seven hundred six frogs.” Next part? Hmm, let’s see—the 6 is in the ones (buns) place, so it stands for just 6 frogs, right? The 0 is in the tens (tins) place, so we put a zero there! And the 7 is in the hundreds (tonbreads) place, so it stands for 700 frogs, and that’s our answer. Can you picture what this would look like?

That’s a lot of frogs! (Don’t tell Mr. Mouse.)
