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.
Example
Write this number using numerals:
Four hundred and thirty-six.
Answer
We can use place value to write the numbers into hundreds, tens and ones.
| Hundreds | Tens | Ones |
| 4 | 3 | 6 |
400 + 30 + 6
So, the number four hundred and thirty-six can be written in numerals as 436.
