In this activity, we will be learning to write numbers using numerals.
We can use place value to write numbers accurately in numerals.
Let's take the number six hundred and twenty-one as an example.
We know that the number has 6 hundreds, 2 tens and a one.
Hundreds | Tens | Ones |
6 | 2 | 1 |
We can write this using place value: 600 + 20 + 1
So, the number in numerals is 621.
Let's try an example question together.
