Day 3: Lesson 1e – Writing Numbers in Words

I. Discussion
To write the number words, combine two number words that you have
learned. Here is how you form number words for number words for numbers
after 20.

1. Use the number words for groups of 10. These are twenty, thirty, forty,
and fifty.

2. Then use the number words one to nine for the number 1 to 9.

Examples:

1. 35
To form the number word for 35, you have the digits 3 and 5.
3 stands for thirty and 5 stands for five.
Thus, you write the number word as thirty-five.

9
2. 41
To form the number word for 41, you have the digits 4 and 1.
4 stands for forty and 1 stands for one.
So, you get forty-one.

Remember:
Always connect the two number words with a hyphen (-).

Day 4: Lesson 1f – Comparing Numbers 1 to 50

I. Discussion
It is easier to count objects more than10 if you make groups of 10.
= 10 =1
=1

a. How do you compare 43 and 35?

43 35

43 has 4 groups of 10. 35 has 3 groups of 10.

There are more groups of 10 in 43. You can say that 43 is more than 35
or 43 > 35.
The symbol > means more than.

b. How do you compare 25 and 46?

25 46

25 has 2 groups of 10. 46 has 4 groups of 10.

There are more groups of 10 in 46. You can say that 25 is less than 46 or
25 < 46.
The symbol < means less than.
11
c. If the number are the same, you say they are equal.
Compare 14 and 14.

14 14
You can say that 14 is equal to 14 or 14 = 14.
The symbol = means equal to.
