Writing Numbers using Words and Digits

 

Students learn about writing numbers using words and digits through the place value.

Less able students have access to a place value table.  More able students are encouraged to use the language of fractions.

Differentiated Learning Objectives
  • All students should be able to write a number in words using the place value table.
  • Most students should be able to convert between numbers written in words and digits.
  • Some students should be able to write a decimal number using the keywords tenths, hundredths and thousandths.
