I suppose your sentences are 'acceptable', but doubt that they're essential knowledge for nine-year-old children.

I think you may have misunderstood what the original sentence means. As we can't see the original context, I'll say what I guess it means:

100, 000

This is one 'hundred thousand'.

100, 000
100, 000
100, 000
100, 000
100, 000
100, 000
100, 000
100, 000
100, 000
100, 000

That's ten 'hundred thousands'. If you add up all of those amounts, the total is one million.
