This week’s focus is whole number.

Partitioning is when we break up a number into

When we write numbers in word form, we write in groups of three and use commas to separate the groups. The groups of

its place value groups. For example the number 135 693 can be split into 100 000, 30 000, 5 000, 600, 90 and 3. Non-standard partitioning is when we break a number up in groups outside of their place value groups. For example, the number 135 693 can be split into 100 000 and 35 693.

Solve the following questions by partitioning numbers in non-standard forms e.g. 138 700 + 150 000.

Step A: 100 000 + 38 700 + 150 000

Step B: (100 000 + 150 000) + 38 700

Step C: 250 000 + 38 700 =288 700

three includes the ones, thousands, millions, billions etc. So when writing the number 123 560 891in words, we write the first group of numbers as: one hundred and twenty three million. Then we write the next group of three, five hundred and sixty thousand. We finish with the final group, the ones – eight hundred and ninety one. Therefore the number in word form is one hundred and twenty three million, five hundred and sixty thousand, eight hundred and ninety one.
