Write the Words in Numerals (2)

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.
