1 Very Large and Very Small Numbers


We can represent numbers in many different ways:
1. Place Value Chart
millions Hundred thousands Ten thousands thousands hundreds Tens ones

5 6 8 4 0 0 0

2. Words: ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

3. Expanded Form: _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

4. Standard Form: ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

ones tenths Hundreths thousandths Ten thousandths Hundred thousandths

0 0 0 1 5 7

5. Words: ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

6. Expanded Form: _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

7. Standard Form: _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Let’s try;

1. Write each number in words. Fun Fact: in standard form, digits are written in groups of 3, called periods.

a. 15 000 000________________________________________________b. 0.000 000 033 _______________________________________________

2. Write each number in standard form. Use the chart below to help you.

a. 14.2 million ______________________________________________ b. 1.4 ten thousandths ___________________________________________

ones tenths hundreths thousands Ten Hundred millionths Ten millionths Hundred billionths
thousandths thousandths millionths

Now that we know the place value of numbers, let’s compare their distances from zero.
1. Which number is closer to zero? Write their number in standard form.
28 trillion_______________________________________________ or 45 trillionths ______________________________________________________

Which is closer to zero? Count their distance from the decimal point.

2. 0.02 hundred thousandths ______________________________ or 10 millionths _______________________________________________________


STOP: Do questions 5-11 on page 25 in your notebook.
Which number is greater and by how many times (how many times means we divide the two numbers).

Distance between Earth and Mars = 225 million km Distance between Saturn and Jupiter = 646 million km
** when words are the same, we can just divide the numbers**

** when words are NOT the same, put the words in standard form **
Red blood cell = 7 millionth of a metre human hair = 8 hundred thousandths of a metre

Break it down and USE YOUR PLACE VALUE CHART :


3 millionths: 0.000 003
3 ten millionths: 0.000 000 3
3 hundred millionths: 0.000 000 03

Write the following numbers in their standard form:


1. 2 hundred billionths _________________________ 6. 0.04 millionths ________________________________

2. 5 trillionths ________________________________ 7. 3 trillion _______________________________________

3. 500 million ________________________________ 8. 9 hundred millionths ____________________________

4. 7 billionths ________________________________ 9. 0.005 million ________________________________

5. 0.2 billion ________________________________ 10. 12 trillionths ________________________________

Put the following numbers in order from least to greatest (in standard form):
0.2 million, 8 billionths, 1 millionth, 0.05 trillion
