Study Notes
Composing Large Numbers
- Break down large numbers into manageable parts.
- Use place value to read and write:
- Thousands (1,000)
- Millions (1,000,000)
- Billions (1,000,000,000)
- Write out each part and combine:
- Example: 1,234,567 is "one million two hundred thirty-four thousand five hundred sixty-seven."
Ordinal Numbers
- Indicate position or order in a sequence.
- Formed by adding suffixes:
- First (1st)
- Second (2nd)
- Third (3rd)
- For numbers 4 and above, use:
- Fourth (4th)
- Fifth (5th)
- Sixth (6th), and so on.
- Larger ordinal numbers follow a similar pattern:
- 21st (twenty-first), 22nd (twenty-second), 23rd (twenty-third), etc.
Numbers Till Hundreds

- 20-90: twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety
- Combine tens and units for numbers 21-99:

- Special case for "hundred":
- 100 is "one hundred."
Composing Large Numbers
- Large numbers can be simplified by breaking them into sections based on place value.
- Place values include:
- Thousands, represented by 1,000.
- Millions, represented by 1,000,000.
- Billions, represented by 1,000,000,000.
- To articulate large numbers, express each component separately before combining:
- Example: 1,234,567 reads as "one million two hundred thirty-four thousand five hundred sixty-seven."
Ordinal Numbers
- Ordinal numbers specify the position of an item in a list or sequence.
- Formed by adding appropriate suffixes to cardinal numbers:

- 2 becomes "second" (2nd)
- 3 becomes "third" (3rd).
- For numbers four and higher, the pattern continues with:
- Fourth (4th), Fifth (5th), Sixth (6th), etc.
- Larger ordinal numbers follow a consistent method:
- 21st is "twenty-first," 22nd is "twenty-second," and 23rd is "twenty-third."
Numbers Till Hundreds
- Numbers between 1 and 100 should be written in words for clarity:
- Basic numbers from 1-10: one through ten.
- Numbers from 11-19 have unique names: eleven through nineteen.
- Multiples of ten from 20-90 are: twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety.
- For numbers 21-99, combine tens and units with a hyphen:
- Example: "forty-two" for 42 and "seventy-six" for 76.
