Numerals: A symbol or name that stands for a
number.
Numerals = Numbers (synonymns)
Examples: 3, 49 and twelve are all numerals

Digits: A symbol used to make numerals.

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 are the ten

digits we use in everyday numbers.

Example: the numeral 153 is made up of 3

digits ("1", "5" and "3").
Place Value is the value of a digit
determined by its position in a number.

A place value chart helps us to

read and understand large
numbers.
• In each one of your bags, you have the
following place value names. Can you put
them in order from smallest to largest?
tens thousands
hundreds hundred millions
millions ten thousands
hundred thousands ten millions
ones billions

• Each digit in a number Face value
has a place value , a is 4
face value and a value.
• In the number 4 856,
the digit 4 is in the
thousands place value. 4 856
• Meaning the place value
is thousands. Place value is
• The number you see (4) thousands
is the face value.
What is the place value of the six (6) in each of the
following numbers?

a) 16 978 thousands
b) 45 678 090 hundred thousands
c) 69 218 ten thousands
d) 1 769 tens

 The value of a place is how much the digit in that
place is worth.

Example: What is the value of the digit four (4)

in each number?

a) 456 a) 400
b) 45 678 b) 40 000

d) 1 009 ones 9
e) 92 128 ten thousands 90 000
f) 978 085 hundred thousands 900 000
g) 9 876 432 millions 9 000 000
• Zero is used as a place holder to show there is a place
value, but there is no value to that place.
• Zeros are put in to the right of numbers

Example: 40 556

Zero is the place holder for the thousands place

because there is no value for it, but we still
need to show that there is a place for the
thousands
• Numbers are grouped in sets of three called a
period.

• Each period has three places: the ones, tens

and hundreds.

1. Read the entire number in each period, then add the period name to the end
e.g. “One hundred twenty one” million
“Five hundred thirty seven” thousand
“Six hundred eighty nine”

One hundred twenty one million, five hundred thirty seven thousand, six hundred eighty nine.
***Notice no AND was used to read whole numbers***
 34 907 521
When saying large numbers you should:

A)start with the largest place value grouping (period) on the

left hand side.

34 907 521
B)Say the number, then say the grouped place value period

“Thirty four” + million = “Thirty four million”

C) Move to right and say the number in the next period.

34 907 521
“Nine hundred seven” + thousand = “Nine hundred seven
thousand”

D) Keep moving right and say the number in the next period.

34 907 521
“Five hundred twenty one” + hundreds = “Five hundred
twenty one”

*** the period name for the hundreds can be dropped when
 34 907 521
Now you can add all the names together.

“Thirty-four million nine hundred seven five hundred

twenty-one”

ALERT
“AND” is only said or written when there is a decimal.
DO NOT say “and” if there isn’t a decimal. ( It’s hard, but
you can do it!)
 12 001

1.Say the number in the left period first.

2.Next, add the period name to the end of it.
3.Then say the number in the period to its right.
4.We can leave the family name hundreds off.

12 001 = Twelve thousand one

Remember No “and” is used, since we are not using

decimals yet.
 1 000 562

When there is no value in one family, you do not

have to include saying that family when writing the
number.

1 000 562 = one million five hundred sixty

two

Notice we did not include the thousands period.

We did not have to include zero thousands

When writing a large number put a space between each
period

345 905 - Canadian Way

345,905 - American Way

Sometimes you will see a larger numbe written with a

comma in between the periods. This is the American way
of writing larger numbers

• When numbers are presented in numerical digits, it is
called the standard form of a number.
• a number is written using digits and place value (the
regular way to write numbers).

Standard
Forms

e. g. 4 856 67 1 78 900 679

• A number is written as a sum using the place and
value of each digit.
• This means writing, separately, the value of each
digit in the each place value the number.
• The values must be written from largest to
smallest, and have an addition sign to shown they
are combined
• Zero values are not included.
 The number 4856 in expanded form is:

Method a) 4000 + 800 + 50 + 6

You may see expanded form written like this:

Method b) 4 x 1000 + 8 x 100 + 5 x 10 + 6 x 1

Both methods are correct.

The number 5 062 in expanded form is:
5000 + 000 + 60 + 2

** Because there is no value for the hundreds place,

we can leave the value of the hundreds place out
when writing the expanded form.

5 062 = 5000 + 60 + 2
A trick to writing number in standard form from expanded
form is to show the number of lines as there is place values

e.g. Write in standard form 50 000 + 6 000 + 700 + 2

50 000 is the largest of the expanded form shown. So we need

Five place value lines

___ ____ ____ ____ _____

The face value of the ten thousands place is 5. Put in 5.

_5__ ____ ____ ____ _____

(Continued) Write in standard form 50 000 + 6 000 + 700 + 2

The face value of the thousands place is 6. Put in 6.

_5__ __6__ ____ ____ _____

The face value of the hundreds place is 7. Put in 7.
