Drawing should include 1 hundred block, 2 ten rods, and 3 unit cubes, correctly labeled.

Explain how the position of each digit in the number 123 relates to its value using place value blocks. For example, what does the '1' represent?

The '1' represents one hundred, the '2' represents two tens (twenty), and the '3' represents three ones.
