Activity: to use a series of techniques to perform calculations [1.10.3]

1. Do you still remember what "expanded notation" is? Quickly explain it to a partner! Then look at the example and see whether you can write the following numbers in expanded notation:

e.g. 36 518 = 30 000 + 6 000 + 500 + 10 + 8

1.1 50 436 =

1.2 98 017 =

Puzzle!

What number is 10 times larger than 10 000?

Fill in the missing answers:

9 + 1 = 10 ten

99 + 1 = 100 one hundred

999 + 1 = 1 000 one thousand

9 999 + 1 = 10 000 ten thousand

99 999 + 1 = __________________ __________________

  • Let us see if you were correct!
Hundred thousand Ten thousand Thousand Hundred Ten One
HTh TTh Th H T U
10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 10 × 10 × 10 10 × 10 10 1
3 1 8 5 2 6

We read 318 526 as three hundred and eighteen thousand five hundred and twenty six.

You were therefore correct if you said 100 000 (hundred thousand).
