Simple Example
Quick Example
Imagine your favourite cricket team scored 101 runs. If they score one more run, their total score becomes 102 runs. So, 102 is just one more than 101.
Worked Example
Step-by-Step
Let's say you have 100 laddoos in a box. Your friend gives you 2 more laddoos.
---
To find the total number of laddoos, you add the laddoos you already have to the laddoos your friend gave you.
---
So, you do 100 + 2.
---
Counting two steps forward from 100 gives you 101, then 102.
---
Therefore, 100 + 2 = 102.
---
Answer: You now have 102 laddoos in total.

Common Mistakes
MISTAKE: Writing '1002' instead of '102' | CORRECTION: Remember 'one hundred two' means 1 hundred, 0 tens, and 2 ones, not one thousand two.
MISTAKE: Confusing 102 with 120 | CORRECTION: 102 has 'zero' in the tens place, while 120 has 'two' in the tens place, making them very different numbers.
MISTAKE: Thinking 102 is a single-digit or two-digit number | CORRECTION: 102 is a three-digit number because it has three places: hundreds, tens, and ones.
