Solve word problems involving values and place values, and the 4 basic operations
of whole numbers
Introduction
Have you ever taken a road trip with several stops? While a typical journey
might take you from point A to point B along the shortest route possible, a road trip
can involve many destinations and meandering routes that are more about enjoying
the journey than getting to a particular place. To see how much ground you covered
along the way, you can add up the distance between each stopping point and find
your total distance travelled. In this section, you’ll learn how to use proper addition
notation and add whole numbers to find out how many miles you covered on your
road trip.
Key Concepts
Name a whole number in words.
1. Starting at the digit on the left, name the number in each period,
followed by the period name. Do not include the period name for the
ones.
2. Use commas in the number to separate the periods.
Use place value to write a whole number.
1. Identify the words that indicate periods. (Remember the ones period is
never named.)
2. Draw three blanks to indicate the number of places needed in each
period.
3. Name the number in each period and place the digits in the correct
place value position.
Round a whole number to a specific place value.
1. Locate the given place value. All digits to the left of that place value do
not change.
2. Underline the digit to the right of the given place value.
3. Determine if this digit is greater than or equal to 5. If yes—add 1 to the
digit in the given place value. If no—do not change the digit in the given
place value.
Replace all digits to the right of the given place value with zeros.
Glossary
coordinate
A number paired with a point on a number line is called the coordinate of the
point.
counting numbers
The counting numbers are the numbers 1, 2, 3, ….
number line
A number line is used to visualize numbers. The numbers on the number line
get larger as they go from left to right, and smaller as they go from right to left.
origin
The origin is the point labeled 0 on a number line.
place value system
Our number system is called a place value system because the value of a
digit depends on its position, or place, in a number.
rounding
The process of approximating a number is called rounding.
whole numbers
The whole numbers are the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, ….
LESSON 1: INTRODUCTION TO ADDING WHOLE NUMBERS
Before you get started in this m odule, try a few practice problems and review prior concepts.
Use Addition Notation
Now that we have used models to add numbers, we can move on to adding
without models. Before we do that, make sure you know all the one digit addition
facts. You will need to use these number facts when you add larger numbers.
Imagine filling in the table below by adding each row number along the left
side to each column number across the top. You can use this table for reference, but
it will make your work faster and easier if you have the sums memorized.
Did you notice what happens when you add zero to a number? The sum of
any number and zero is the number itself. We call this the Identity Property of
Addition. Zero is called the additive identity.
Now that we have practiced adding whole numbers, let’s use what we’ve
learned to solve real-world problems. We’ll start by outlining a plan. First, we need to
read the problem to determine what we are looking for. Then we write a word phrase
that gives the information to find it. Next we translate the word phrase into math
notation and then simplify. Finally, we write a sentence to answer the question.
Application
1. 461 - ____________________________________________
2. 809 - ____________________________________________
3. 4, 405 - __________________________________________
4. 7, 402 - __________________________________________
5. 3, 004 - __________________________________________
C. Give the missing addend or sum, then, identify what property of addition is shown
in the following number sentences.
1. 3 + 9 + = ___ + 9 + 3 _________________
2. (8+3)+___ = 8+(3+6) _________________
3. ___+8=8 _________________
4. 12+9= 9+___ _________________
5. 76 +0 = ___ _________________
D. Use the properties of addition to solve the following.
1. 1+2+3+…+9+10 = __________________
2. (49+63)+51 = __________________
3. 15+38+47+62+53 = __________________
4. 999+999+999+999+999 = __________________
5. 809+803+806+801+807+804 = __________________
