Activity: to recognise and describe numbers [lo 1.3.1]

1. On page 6 we saw how large numbers (hundred thousands) have to be read and how we write them as words. The above example shows how we read and write millions. Take another careful look at it and then write the following numbers in words:

1.1 4 136 284 _______________________________________________________

_____________________________________________________________________

1.2 8 247 009 _______________________________________________________

_____________________________________________________________________

1.3 3 006 500_______________________________________________________

_____________________________________________________________________

2. Here the numbers have been written out in words. See if you can write them in figures:

2.1 Five million four hundred thousand eight hundred and sixteen

____________________________________________________________________

2.2 Two million six hundred and twenty thousand and eighteen

____________________________________________________________________

2.3 Twelve million seven hundred thousand and six
