The Philippines, particularly in Regions I, III, IV, NCR and CAR was
hit by the Typhoon Tisoy. A total ofvii60 evacuation centers are currently
hosting one thousand, one hundred six families with five thousand, four
hundred seventy-nine persons. Twenty-three people are reported dead with
Ricky was listening to a radio. He heard something about the Typhoon
Tisoy. Then Ricky wrote down on the paper the number of families and number
of people being affected by the typhoon:
► Number of families = 1 106
► Number of people = 5 479
Questions:
1. Did Ricky correctly record the number of affected families?
2. How did you know that it is correct or not?
viii
What is It
To read and write numbers,
First, you should know how to identify Place Value and Value of the
digits of the 3- to 4-digit numbers.
Second, you should know how to write number in expanded form.
These are the necessary knowledge in order to read and write numbers in
symbols and in words.
Study the place value chart. Let us write the given number of affected
families.
Place Value
Numbers Thousands Hundreds Tens Ones
1 106 1 1 0 6
5 479 5 4 7 9
Each digit has a value which can be solved by multiplying the digit by its
place value as shown below.
Digit Place Value Value
5 x 1 000 = 5 000
4 x 100 = 400
7 x 10 = 70
9 x 1 = 9
We can now write the given number in expanded form by adding the
value of each digit.
5 479 in expanded form is 5 000 + 400 + 70 + 9
ix
Another Example: Write the expanded form of 1 106.
Look at the chart above to determine the place value of its digit. Using
the place value of each digit, we can express the given number into its expanded
form.
1 106 = 1 x (1000) + 1 x (100) + 0 x (10) + 6 x (1)
Answer: 1 106 = 1 000 + 100 + 0 + 6
Now that you know how to write numbers in expanded form, you can now
write the number in words by following the steps:
Step 1. Identify the place value of the digits of the given number.
Step 2. Write its expanded form by adding the value of each digit.
Step 3. Write the number in words equivalent to the values in
expanded form.
Step 4. Write the final answer.
Example: Write 5 649 in words.
Step 1.
Place value: 5(thousands), 6(hundreds) 4(tens) 9(ones)
Step 2.
Expanded form: 5 000 + 600 + 40 + 9
Step 3.
Number words: Five thousand, six hundred forty – nine
Step 4. Final answer:
Five thousand, six hundred forty-nine.
Note that there is an exemption in writing the equivalent number in words
from the expanded form containing zero in any of the place values. This will
happen if the expanded form in each place has the following:
x
Case 1:
If there is only zero in any of the place values, leave it blank. Instead,
write only the number in words of the values containing non-zero.
Example: write 3 010 in words.
Step 1. Place value:
3(thousands), 0(hundreds) 1(tens) 0(ones)
Step 2. Expanded form: 3 000 + 0 + 10 + 0
Step 3. Number words: Three thousand, ______ ten ____
Step 4. Final answer: Three thousand, ten.
Case 2:
If it has the value of 10 in the tens place and non-zero in the ones place.
In this case, add the tens and ones, then write the number in words equivalent to
that number in symbols.
Example: write 7 016 in words.
Step 1: Place value:
7(thousands), 0(hundreds) 1(tens) 6(ones)
Step 2: Expanded form: 7,000 + 0 + 10 + 6
7,000 + 0 + 16
Step 3: Number in words: Seven thousand, ______ sixteen
Step 4: Final answer: Seven thousand, sixteen.
xi
In writing the number in symbols equivalent to the number in words, you
should take the reverse process of the above examples as shown in the
following steps:
Step 1. Determine the place value in the number in words.
Step 2. Write the expanded form.
It is based on the values found in the number in words.
Step 3. Identify the first digit (from the left) in each value.
Then write the final answer.
Example: Write two thousand, four hundred ninety-one in symbols.
Step 1: Place value. two thousand, four hundred ninety-one
2(thousands), 4(hundreds) 9(tens) 1(ones)
Step 2: Expanded form. 2 000 + 400 + 90 + 1
Step 3: First digit of each value. 2, 4 9 1
Final answer: 2 491
In some cases, if one of its place values is missing, put a zero to complete
the expanded form.
Example: Write nine thousand, four hundred one in symbols.
Step 1: Place value. 9(thousands), 4(hundreds) 0(tens) 1(ones)
Step 2: Expanded form. 9 000 + 400 + 0 + 1
Step 3: First digits. 9 401
