Teaching Notes:
D?
• Some ESL students may need extra help learning the number period vocabulary such as ones, thousands,
millions, billions, trillions, etc. They may be accustomed to using periods instead of commas in place value.
• Many examples of tables are available on the Internet. Assign students to find examples and ask them to
explain how to read the tables and write the numbers in words.
??
Answers: 1) choices a, c, and g are whole numbers; 2a) thousands, b) ten-millions, c) hundred-billions; 3a) five
thousand, three hundred two, b) three million, six hundred forty-three thousand, one hundred twelve, c) five hundred
two billion, seventy-six thousand; 4a) 2,300,003, b) 38,541,074,802, c) 106,000,402,000,000
