Math Homework, Workbook Worksheets aka W.B.W.S

1. Practice 1, Numbers To 100 000
(a) Spelling Involving digit 4. 4 is Four. 14 is Fourteen. 40 is Forty. The letter ‘U’ is omitted for the word forty.


(b) Closely similar rule for digit 5. 5 is five. 15 is fifteen. 50 is fifty.

(c) Digit 8 is commonly misspelt, e.g eghty. 8 is eight. 18 is eighteen. 80 is eighty. No omission of letter.

(d) Digit 9. 90 is misspelt is ninty. 9 is nine. 19 is nineteen. 90 is ninety.


2. Practice 2, Numbers To 100 000
(a) 2 types of question basically, either write in words the place value or give the ####

Type 1, e.g .45 213. The digit “5” is the thousands place.

Type 2, e.g. 36 752, The digit “7” stands for 700 (give a ###)
Or The value of the digit “7” is 700 (give a (###)

3. Better Strategies
(a) It is alright to write, e.g. 45799 without spacing. However, it will be a good practice to write as 45 799 with a single spacing, to separate the digit in the thousands place from the digit in the hundreds place for better visualisation. The use of comma, e.g. 45,799 will not be penalized but not necessary. The use dash, e.g.45-799 is not allowed as the dash could be misread as the subtraction sign.
