Recognising and applying numbers in their numerical and written word form is an important goal in forming a mathematically literate student.
The written word form of numbers innately includes the assigned place value of the number.
A common point of confusion is where to place the “and” within the number set.
For instance, 2018 is pronounced and written as “Two thousand and eighteen”, whilst 2108 is pronounced and written as “Two thousand, one hundred and eight” with the and placed before the tens and then the units respectively.
This is best taught using variations of the “Words to Numbers” lesson, using the provided flash cards which have a floating “and” card which the student must place correctly.
Using the Place Value Number Generator, you are able show the written form of a number.
