Reading, Understanding, Forming and Writing Numbers

Mathematics is used everywhere in our day to day activities. Every day, we make use of numbers in reading, writing, calculating and measuring

different units of measurements.

Numbers from 1 – 99.

From the above table, we have learnt and understood numbers from 1 to 9 in digits and words. All these are one-digit numbers.

  • One-digit numbers are called ones or units.
  • The first one-digit number is 1, so it is the smallest one-digit number.
  • The last one-digit number is 9, which is the greatest one-digit number.

Reading, Understanding, and Writing Numbers from 10 – 99.

By adding 1 more to 9, we get 10, and we call it ten in words.

From the above table, we have learned and understood numbers from 10 to 99 in digits and words. All these are tens digit numbers.

  • Two-digit numbers are called tens.
  • The first two-digit number is 10, so it is the smallest two-digit number.
  • The last two-digit number is 99, and so it is the greatest two number.

Reading, Understanding, and Writing Three-Digits Numbers

By adding 1 more to 99, we get 100, and we call it a hundred or one hundred in words.

Let us know the three-digit numbers or hundred numbers.

Similarly, by adding 1 to the numbers from 110 and above, we can get numbers up to 999.

  • Three-digit numbers are called hundreds.
  • The first three-digit number is 100, so it is the smallest three-digit number.
  • The last three-digit number is 999, and so it is the greatest three-digit number.

Reading, Understanding, and Writing Four Digits Numbers

By adding 1 more to 999, we get 1000, and we call it thousand or one thousand in words.

Let us know the four-digit numbers or thousand numbers.

1000

  • Four-digit numbers are called thousands.
  • The first four-digit number is 1001 and so it is the smallest four-digit number.
  • The last four-digit number is 9999 and so it is the greatest four-digit number.

Place Value

We have learned about one-digit numbers. The numbers 1 to 9 are all one-digit numbers. We call them units or ones.

Let us learn the place value of digits in two-digit numbers. The numbers 10 to 99 are all two-digit numbers. We call them tens.

For example- 29

Here, the place value of 2 is tens, and 9 is units or ones.

Let us learn the place value of digits in three-digit numbers.

The numbers 100 to 999 are all three-digit numbers. We call them hundreds.

For example – 365

Here, the place value of 3 is hundreds, 6 is tens, and 5 is units or ones.

Expanded Form of Numbers

To know the place value of digits of a number, we look at the number of digits on the right side of that digit and put the same number of zeros to the right of that digit.

The place value of zero (0) is always ‘0’ in all the places.

In the number 95:

The place value of 9 is 90, and 5 is 5.

In the expanded form, 95 is written as 95 = 90 + 5

Similarly,

In the number 471:

The place value of 4 is 400

The place value of 7 is 70

The place value of 1 is 1

In the expanded form, 471 is written as 471 = 400 + 70 + 1

In the number 2896:

The place value of 2 is 2000

The place value of 8 is 800

The place value of 9 is 90

The place value of 6 is 6

In the expanded form, 2896 is written as 2896 = 2000 + 800 + 90 + 6.
