Introduction

Hello, Year 4! Today, we are going to learn how to write larger numbers in words. This is an important skill that helps us communicate numbers clearly. Let’s dive in!

Understanding Larger Numbers

When we talk about larger numbers, we usually mean numbers that are bigger than 20. For example, “twenty-one,” “thirty-five,” or “one hundred.”

Key Rules

  1. Units and Tens: Numbers from 1 to 9 are called units. From 10 to 19, we have special names (like “eleven” and “fifteen”). Numbers from 20 to 99 are made up of tens and units. For example, 34 is “thirty-four” (30 + 4).
  2. Hundreds: For numbers 100 to 999, we use “hundred.” For example, 245 is “two hundred and forty-five” (200 + 40 + 5).
  3. Thousands: When we get to numbers in the thousands, we say “thousand.” For example, 1,234 is “one thousand two hundred and thirty-four.”

Tips and Tricks

  • Break It Down: When writing a large number, break it down into smaller parts. For example, for 1,456, think about it as “one thousand,” “four hundred,” “fifty,” and “six.”
  • Use ‘and’: In British English, we often use “and” before the last part of the number. For example, “two hundred and thirty-five.”
  • Practice Makes Perfect: The more you practice writing numbers in words, the easier it will get!
