Teacher: Hey there! I see you're curious about the word "100th." No worries, I'll break it down for you in a way that makes sense, okay? So, imagine you have a hundred cupcakes, all lined up perfectly on a table. It's quite a feast, right? Well, "100th" is a word we use to describe something that is in the position of number 100 in a series. It's like saying our 100th cupcake is the last one in the line.

Now, let's think about it a bit more. Imagine you're waiting in line with your friends to go on a super cool roller coaster. Each person gets a number to know their turn, right? Well, if you were the hundredth person in line, it means you have to wait until 99 people go before it's finally your turn. So, "100th" is related to being the last or the farthest in a series of 100 things.

But wait, there's another way we can use "100th"! Let's go back to our cupcake example. If all the cupcakes had different flavors from chocolate to strawberry to vanilla and so on, and you were the lucky one to have the 100th cupcake, it means you got the very last flavor available. Exciting, huh?

So, in summary, "100th" means being in the position of number 100 in a series or being the last out of 100 things. Just like waiting for your turn in line or being the lucky one to have the last cupcake flavor. Pretty cool, right? Do you have any more questions?
