• UNIT 1: Reading, writing, comparing and calculating whole numbers up to 1 000 000

    1.1 Reading and writing numbers in words up to 1 000 000

    (a) Reading and writing in words

    Activity 1.1
    • Study these numbers:
    100 001        280 465       405 230     729 111         999 999
    • Write each of them on little slips of papers. Pick a slip of paper.
    • Now, arrange yourselves according to your numbers.

    • Read your number aloud then write your number in words.

    Tip:
    When writing a number in words, group the digits of the number. Look at

    the example below.

    Example 1.1
    Write 976 946 in words.

    Solution

    We can group 976 946 as:
    976 000 – nine hundred seventy six thousand
    900 – nine hundred
    40 – forty
    6 – six
    Therefore 976 946 is nine hundred seventy six thousand nine hundred and forty six.

    (b) Comparing numbers using <, > or =

    Activity 1.4
    • Write the following numbers on small paper cutouts.
    6 , 2 , 4 , 8 , 9 , 1
    Arrange the numbers to form:
    – the largest number.
    – the smallest number.
    (i) Use > to compare the numbers you have formed.
    (ii) Use < to compare the numbers you have formed.
    • Repeat the activity above with other digits. Explain your answers.

    • Where do you compare quantities? Discuss how you do it.

    Example 1.4
    By using <, = or > compare: 356 481 —— 353 4

    Solution

    Step 1: Write the two numbers   
          on place value chart
    m

    Step 2: Compare the digits from the left towards the right.

    The hundred thousands digits are the same. So are the ten thousands digits. Thousands digits are 6 and 3, but 6 > 3.
    Therefore, 356 481 > 353 406

    Tip:

    • To compare whole numbers: Check digits of numbers at the same place values. Start at the left and compare the digits in the greatest place value position. The greater number has a greater digit at the greatest place value.

    • We use: < for “less than”, > for “greater than” and = for “equal to”.

    Practice Activity 1.4
    1. By using <, = or > compare the following pair of numbers.
    (a) 440 040 — 440 040                  (b) 657 000 — 675 000
    (c) 649 362 — 639 462                  (d) 831 647 — 861 347
    2. Use <, = or > to compare the following. Discuss your answers.
    (a). 531 926 — 513 926                 (b) 100 000 — 1 000 000
    (c) 210 034 — 201 034                  (d) 245 689 — 245 689
    3. The number of adults in a certain district was 136 895. The number of children was 136 989 for the same district.
