Compare Number
To compare numbers like 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000, and 100,000 effectively, you
need to understand their place values and relative magnitudes. Here's a step-
by-step explanation:
Place value helps you determine the value of a digit based on its position in a
number. In the decimal system, each place represents a power of 10.
Comparing Numbers
1. Count the Digits: The more digits a number has, the larger it is.
o 10 has 2 digits.
o 100 has 3 digits.
o 1,000 has 4 digits.
o 10,000 has 5 digits.
o 100,000 has. 6 digits.
2. Identify Place Values: Recognize the highest place value in each
number.
o 10: The highest place value is tens.
o 100: The highest place value is hundreds.
o 1,000: The highest place value is thousands.
o 10,000: The highest place value is ten thousands.
o 100,000: The highest place value is hundred thousands.
3. Order by Magnitude: Arrange the numbers from the smallest to the
largest based on the place value.
o 10 < 100 < 1,000 < 10,000 < 100,000

Visual Representation
• Problem: 563,300 is how many times the size of 56,330 and 5,633?
o Solution:
§ 563,300 ÷ 56,330 ≈ 10 times
§ 563,300 ÷ 5,633 ≈ 100 times
Partitioning Numbers
Partitioning numbers up to 1,000,000 involves breaking down a number into
its component parts based on place value. Here’s a detailed explanation of
how to do this:
In the decimal system, each place represents a power of 10. Here are the place
values up to 1,000,000:
• Ones (1)
• Tens (10)
• Hundreds (100)
• Thousands (1,000)
• Ten Thousands (10,000)
• Hundred Thousands (100,000)
• Millions (1,000,000)

100,000 10,000 1,000 100 10 1
Using visual aids such as place value charts or blocks can help students better
understand partitioning. These tools can visually represent the different parts
of a number, making the concept more tangible.
o Alternative partitions:
Place value is the value of each digit in a number based on its position. The
place values for numbers up to 1,000,000 are:
• Ones (1)
• Tens (10)
• Hundreds (100)
• Thousands (1,000)
• Ten Thousands (10,000)
• Hundred Thousands (100,000)
• Millions (1,000,000)

2. Reading Numbers:
o Break the number into groups of three digits starting from the
right.
o Read each group of digits as a whole number followed by its place
value.
o For example, 481,384 is read as:
§ Four hundred and eighty-one thousand, three hundred and
eighty-four.
3. Writing Numbers:
o Write the number by placing each digit in its correct place value.
o Use commas to separate groups of three digits for easier reading.
o For example, the number "Five hundred and six thousand, one
hundred and one" is written as:
§ 506,101
784,352
Practice Problems
