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:

Understanding Place Value

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.

• 10: 1 ten and 0 ones


• 100: 1 hundred and 0 tens and 0 ones
• 1,000: 1 thousand and 0 hundreds, tens, and ones
• 10,000: 1 ten thousand and 0 thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones
• 100,000: 1 hundred thousand and 0 ten thousands, thousands,
hundreds, tens, and ones

Comparing Numbers

To compare these numbers, you can follow these steps:

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
o
Visual Representation

Using a place value chart can help visualize these comparisons:

Place Value 100,000 10,000 1,000 100 10 1


100,000 1 0 0 0 0 0
10,000 0 1 0 0 0 0
1,000 0 0 1 0 0 0
100 0 0 0 1 0 0
10 0 0 0 0 1 0

Examples and Practice

1. Which is larger: 10 or 100?


o 100 is larger because it has more digits and a higher place value
(hundreds vs. tens).
2. Is 1,000 less than 10,000?
o Yes, because 1,000 is in the thousands place, while 10,000 is in the
ten thousands place.
3. How many times larger is 100,000 than 1,000?
o 100,000 is 100 times larger than 1,000 (100,000 ÷ 1,000 = 100).

Higher Order Thinking

To deepen understanding, students can be asked to solve problems that


require reasoning:

• 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:

Understanding Place Value

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)

Steps to Partition Numbers

1. Identify Each Digit’s Place Value


o Write down the number and label each digit with its place value.
o Example: For the number 573,921

5 7 3 9 2 1
| | | | | |
100,000 10,000 1,000 100 10 1

2. Break Down the Number


o Express the number as a sum of its parts, each part representing a
place value.
o Example: 573,921 = 500,000 + 70,000 + 3,000 + 900 + 20 + 1
3. Write in Expanded Form
o Combine the parts to show the full number.
o Example: 573,921 in expanded form is:

573,921 = 500,000 + 70,000 + 3,000 + 900 + 20 + 1

Examples of Partitioning

1. Example 1: Partitioning 804,213


o Identify place values:
8 0 4 2 1 3
| | | | | |
100,000 10,000 1,000 100 10 1

o Break down the number:

804,213 = 800,000 + 0 + 4,000 + 200 + 10 + 3

2. Example 2: Partitioning 1,000,000


o Identify place values:

1
|
1,000,000

o Break down the number:

1,000,000 = 1,000,000

3. Example 3: Partitioning 350,212


o Identify place values:

Copy code
3 5 0 2 1 2
| | | | | |
100,000 10,000 1,000 100 10 1

o Break down the number:

350,212 = 300,000 + 50,000 + 0 + 200 + 10 + 2

Practice Problems

1. Partition 476,318
o Identify place values:

Copy code
4 7 6 3 1 8
| | | | | |
100,000 10,000 1,000 100 10 1
o Break down the number:

476,318 = 400,000 + 70,000 + 6,000 + 300 + 10 + 8

2. Partition 123,456
o Identify place values:

1 2 3 4 5 6
| | | | | |
100,000 10,000 1,000 100 10 1

o Break down the number:

123,456 = 100,000 + 20,000 + 3,000 + 400 + 50 + 6

Visual Aids and Tools

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.

Higher Order Thinking

To deepen understanding, students can solve problems requiring reasoning


and multiple partitions:

• Example: Partition 597,203 in multiple ways.


o Standard partition:

597,203 = 500,000 + 90,000 + 7,000 + 200 + 3

o Alternative partitions:

597,203 = 400,000 + 100,000 + 90,000 + 7,000 + 200 + 3


597,203 = 500,000 + 70,000 + 20,000 + 200 + 3

Read and Write Number


Reading and writing numbers up to 1,000,000 involves understanding place
value and being able to break down and construct numbers correctly. Here is
a detailed explanation of how to do this:

Understanding Place Value

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)

Steps to Read and Write Numbers

1. Identify Place Values:


o Each digit in a number has a place value. For example, in the
number 345,789:

3 4 5 7 8 9
| | | | | |

100,000 10,000 1,000 100 10 1

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

Examples of Reading and Writing Numbers

1. Reading the Number 573,921:


o Break it down: 573 (thousand) 921
o Read it: Five hundred seventy-three thousand, nine hundred
twenty-one.
2. Writing the Number "Seven hundred eighty-four thousand, three
hundred fifty-two":
o Write it in place values:

784,352

Practice Problems

1. Reading and Writing Large Numbers:


o Read: 835,294
§ Eight hundred thirty-five thousand, two hundred ninety-
four.
o Write: Six hundred twenty-seven thousand, four hundred
eighteen.
§ 627,418
2. Identify Place Values:
o What is the value of the digit 4 in 452,392?
§ The digit 4 is in the hundred thousands place, so its value is
400,000.
o What is the value of the digit 9 in 89,345?
§ The digit 9 is in the ten thousands place, so its value is
90,000.

Place Value Charts

Using a place value chart can help visualize the structure of numbers and
ensure correct reading and writing. Here’s how you can set up a place value
chart for the number 345,789:

Hundred Thousands Ten Thousands Thousands Hundreds Tens Ones

Higher Order Thinking and Problem Solving

To deepen understanding, students can solve more complex problems, such


as:

• Breaking Down Numbers in Different Ways:


o Example: 250,678 can be broken down as:
§ 200,000 + 50,000 + 600 + 70 + 8
o Or:
§ 250,000 + 678
• Comparing Numbers:
o Which is larger, 450,789 or 452,389?
§ 452,389 is larger because 452 is greater than 450 in the
thousand's place.
