Skill: write a number from its parts, including any zeros.
Error this addresses: “four thousand and seven” written as 47, 407 or 4700 instead of 4007.
Three thousand, four hundred and twenty-six
3000 + 400 + 20 + 6 = 3426
Detail from 3400 to 3440 · each small space is 1
Three thousand, four hundred and six
3000 + 400 + 0 + 6 = 3406
The same detail: 3400 to 3440 · each small space is 1
Three thousand and six
3000 + 0 + 0 + 6 = 3006
306 = 300 + 6. Its 3 means hundreds, not thousands.
The six ones are too small to count on the overview above.
Six thousand and forty
6000 + 0 + 40 + 0 = 6040
Detail from 6000 to 6100 · each space is 10
Four tens, zero ones: 6040.
Every little square is 1. Ten of one unit make the next unit.
3006 = 3000 + 0 + 0 + 6
= means the same amount.
Write 0 in the hundreds and tens places. The 3 still means 3000.
The same number on the line: 3000, then 6 more.
Fill the gaps. Draw the missing jump.
3000 to 3040 · each small space is 1
3000 + + = 3024
The same scale · each small space is 1
3000 + =
Number:
6000 + =
Write the number for questions 1–9.
