Number Sense

Topic A: Emotions and Learning

Emotions, or what we feel about something, play a big part in how we learn. If we are calm, we learn well. If we are afraid or stressed, we do not learn as well. Many people are afraid of math. They fear making a mistake. “Math anxiety” is the fear of math.

People who suffer from math anxiety may get headaches, sick stomachs, cold hands or they may just sweat a lot or just feel scared.

Do you suffer from math anxiety?

Read the list below and put a check mark (√) beside the ones you feel.

	Are your palms moist?
	Is your stomach fluttering?
	Do you feel like you can’t think clearly?
	Do you feel like you would rather do anything else than learning math?
	Are you breathing faster than normal?
	Is your heart pounding?
	Do you feel cold?

Add any other things you are feeling.

Math Anxiety

“Math anxiety” or the fear of math is a learned habit. If it is learned, it can be unlearned. Most math anxiety comes from bad memories while learning math. It may be from doing badly on a test or asking a question then being made fun of. These bad memories can make learning math hard.

Everyone can learn math. There is no special talent for math. There are some people who are better at math than others, but even these people had to learn to be good at math.

How to Deal with Math Anxiety

Anyone can feel anxiety that will slow down learning. The key to learning is to be the “boss” of your anxiety.

One way to be the “boss” is to relax. Try this breathing exercise.

Start by breathing in slowly to the count of four. It may help to close your eyes and count. Now hold your breath for four counts and then let your breath out slowly to the count of four. The counting is silent and should follow this pattern: “breathe in, two, three four; hold, two, three, four; breathe out, two, three, four; wait, two, three four.” With practice, the number of counts can be increased. This is an easy and good way to relax.

Now try this exercise quietly and repeat it five times slowly.

Each time you feel anxious about learning, use the breathing exercise to help calm yourself. Ask yourself if what you tried worked. Do you feel calmer?

Remember learning to deal with your math anxiety may take some time. It took you a long time to learn “math anxiety”, so it will take some time to overcome it.

Topic B: Counting

To learn to read, you first need to learn the letters of the alphabet. Once you know the alphabet, you put the letters together to make words, then sentences, then paragraphs and then stories.

Those letters become the “tools” used to write everything.

The same is true for math. In math we use digits. The digits are:

0123456789

Digits are named after our fingers. Our fingers are also called digits. The mathematics term comes from the days of counting on our fingers. We have ten fingers and there are ten digits. We use the letters of the alphabet to make up words, and we use digits to make up numbers. There are two ways to write numbers. You can write them as numerals. You can write them using word names.

Numeral	Word Name
0	zero
1	one
2	two
3	three
4	four
5	five
6	six
7	seven
8	eight
9	nine

Counting is matching the number name to the things being counted. You see a bowl of apples on the table. You want to know how many apples are in the bowl. You answer that question by saying “There are one, two, three, four apples.” You are giving the number names “one”, “two”, “three,” and “four” to the apples. The last number you say is the total number of apples.

How are you feeling? Are your palms moist? How is your breathing?

Take control. Be the boss. If you are feeling anxious, practice your breathing exercise.

Remember: breathe in slowly to the count of four, hold it for the count of four and breathe out slowly to the count of four.

Topic C: Place Value

As you know, we count much higher than ten in our world. Each place in a number has a value.

The ones place tells how many ones there are.

3 means 3 ones

0 means 0 ones

9 means 9 ones

9 is the largest amount that we can express (write or say) with one digit.

The tens place shows how many tens there are. The ones place must have a digit in it before there can be a digit in the tens place.

Every ten is ten ones.

=

43 means 4 tens and 3 ones

20 means 2 tens and 0 ones. The zero holds the ones place.

99 means 9 tens and 9 ones. 99 is the largest amount that we can express (write or say) using only two digits.

Exercise OneFill in the blanks to make each sentence true. Draw a

The place to the left of the tens place is the hundreds place. It shows how many hundreds there are. A number written using three whole digits has a hundreds place, a tens place, and a ones place.

Every hundred is ten tens – every hundred is the same as one hundred ones.

Reading and Writing Numerals

You know that the digits are 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 and that digits are arranged in different places so we can count larger amounts than our ten fingers!

When we use digits we call what we write the numeral.

328 is a numeral 46 is a numeral 3 is a numeral

We use numerals to represent numbers.

If we think about language instead of mathematics it will be clearer.

Letters are used to make words. We respond to the meaning of words.

Digits are the “letters” of math. Numerals are the “words” of math. Numbers are the “meaning” of math.

Now you know the place value of digits up to three places. Next you will learn to read and write numerals and number words. Some of the words to read and spell may be new to you.

The numerals from 1 to 12 have special words. These are

0	zero	7	seven
1	one	8	eight
2	two	9	nine
3	three	10	ten
4	four	11	eleven
5	five	12	twelve
6	six

The number names for numerals from 13 to 19 are made up of two parts. The first part tells us how many units. The second part (“teen”) tells us there is also 1 ten.

13	thirteen	three units and 1 ten
14	fourteen	four units and 1 ten
15	fifteen	five units and 1 ten
16	sixteen	six units and 1 ten
17	seventeen	seven units and 1 ten
18	eighteen	eight units and 1 ten
19	nineteen	nine units and 1 ten

p) three

The word names for the numbers 20 to 90 are also made up of two parts. The first part tells us how many groups of tens. The second part (“ty”) tells us we are counting groups of tens and not something else. The “-ty” may have come from a shortening of the word “ten”.

20	twenty	two tens
30	thirty	three tens
40	forty	four tens
50	fifty	five tens
60	sixty	six tens
70	seventy	seven tens
80	eighty	eight tens
90	ninety	nine tens

The names for the numbers between groups of tens also follow a pattern. The first number tells us how many tens. The second number tells us how many ones.

		TensOnes		Tens Ones		Tens Ones
	20	twenty	30	thirty	40	forty
	21	twenty-one	31	thirty-one	41	forty-one
	22	twenty-two	32	thirty-two	42	forty-two

Topic D: Ordering Numerals

We arrange numerals in order from smallest to largest. Sorting numbered papers such as order forms, arranging items by the date and comparing prices are some of the ways you use this skill.

Look at two numerals and tell which one is larger. How do you do this?

Answers to Exercise Oneb)27c)64d)35e)92f)81

To compare numerals, look at the place with the largest value.

Example A:Compare 63 and 59

Look at the tens place.

63 has a 6 in the tens place. 59 has a 5 in the tens place.

63 is larger than 59.

Example B:Compare 496 and 476.

Look at the hundreds – both have 4’s. Look at the tens place.

496 has a 9 in the tens place. 476 has a 7 in the tens place.

496 is larger than 476.

Note: Numerals with one digit are always less than numerals with two digits. Numerals with two digits are always less than numerals with three digits, and so on.

9 is less than 15

87 is less than 107

999 is less than 1 001

Exercise Three – Answer Key
Now use the same ideas to arrange more than two numerals in order.

For example, to arrange 6, 616, 1, 66, 666, 61, and 16 in order from smallest to

largest, use the following method:

First, sort the numerals with the same number of digits into groups.

6, 166, 16, 61and616, 666

The group of one digit numerals contains 6 and 1. As 1 is smaller than 6, the list starts with 1, then 6.

The group of two-digit numerals contains 66, 61, and 16. Use your skills in ordering numerals to see that 16 is smallest, then 61, and 66 is the largest of this group. The list now reads, 1, 6, 16, 61, 66.

Finally, look at the three-digit numerals, 616 and 666. As 616 is smaller than 666, it will come first. The list now reads: 1, 6, 16, 61, 66, 616, 666.

Greater Than, Less Than, Equals

The sign < means “is less than” (smaller than). The sign > means “is greater than” (bigger than).

The greater than and less than signs always point to the smaller number. That is, the point or the tip of the sign is close to the small number.

• < 12means 5 is less than 12
• > 3means 6 is greater than 3

The sign = means “equals” and is used when two amounts are the same.

Topic E: Rounding Numbers

We use numbers a lot in our everyday lives. List some of the ways you use numbers.

You may have written money, shopping, time, and counting as part of your answer.

Think about time. Let’s say it takes eight minutes to walk to the bus. If someone asks you how long it takes, you will probably say, “About ten minutes.”

If you buy a sweater that cost $29, you may say, “Oh, it was around thirty dollars.”

How far is it from Vancouver to Prince George? The map says 796 km, but we would probably say, “About 800 kilometres.”

You have just read examples of rounding numbers.

We round numbers for many reasons:

We may not know the exact number.

The exact number may not be important for what we are doing.

We may need a quick way to figure something out.

When you are rounding numbers, use zeros to hold the places at the end of the number. Work through the following examples and exercises carefully. Rounding is an important skill.

Rounding to the Nearest Ten

A number rounded to the nearest ten will have a zero in the ones place. The number will end with 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, or 90.

When rounding to the nearest 10, we are looking for the closest group of 10.

Example:20, 23 and 30.

202330

Is 23 closer to 20 or 30? It is closest to 20.

Which gives a better estimate of 23…..2 tens or 3 tens. 2 tens

If we round 23 to the nearest ten, the result would be 20.

Remember: The rounded number has a zero in the ones place.

Example:40, 46 and 50

404650

Is 46 closer to 40 or 50? it is closest to 50.

Which gives a better estimate of 46……4 tens or 5 tens? 5 tens

If we round 46 to the nearest ten, the result would be 50.

Example:60, 65 and 70

606570

Is 65 closer to 60 or 70? It is closer to 70.

Which gives a better estimate of 65…… 6 tens or 7 tens? 7 tens

When we have a number which ends in 5, we always round up to the next ten. If we round 65 to the nearest 10, the result would be 70.

Example: Round 32 to the nearest 10.

32 is between 3 tens and 4 tens.

32 is closest to 3 tens. Rounded number is 30 .

Now look at a shorter method to round to the nearest ten.

When rounding to the nearest ten, do this:

Step 1: Underline the tens digit.

83

Step 2: Look at the digit following in the ones place.

83

Step 3: If the digit in the ones place is less than 5,

write a 0 in the ones place. leave the tens digit as it is.

42rounds to 40 (42 is nearer to 40 than to 50)

14rounds to 10

83rounds to 80

Step 4: If the digit in the ones place is 5 or more,

write a 0 in the ones place.

add one more ten to the tens place.

36rounds to 40 (36 is nearer to 40 than to 30)

25rounds to 30

98rounds to 100 (one more ten than nine tens is ten tens)

Note: If you are rounding to the nearest ten, single digits are rounded like this: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 all round to 0.

5, 6, 7, 8, 9 all round to 10.

When you round a number, use the sign that means “approximately equal”
