Whole Number Lesson

Compare whole numbers

Mentally position the numbers on a number line. The leftmost number is the smaller number. Write an inequality using the less than < symbol by starting with the smaller number. Write an inequality using the greater than > symbol by starting with the larger number.

Write two inequalities comparing 4 and 7.
4 < 7
7 > 4

Locate the numbers on the number line.

The leftmost number is the smaller number. A less-than inequality starts with the smaller number.
The rightmost number is the larger number. A greater-than inequality starts with the larger number.

Place Value:

1) Identify the place value of 8 in the number 3,207,685,194.

2) Identify the place value of 4 in the number 3,207,685,194.

3) Identify the place value of 2 in the number 3,207,685,194.

4) In the number 4,719,680,253, identify the digit in the hundreds place.

5) In the number 4,719,680,253, identify the digit in the millions place.

6) Compare 2 and 20.

7) Compare 100 and 1

8) List these numbers in ascending order: 1101, 1011, 1001, 1100, 1010.

9) List these numbers in descending order: 2102, 2201, 2112, 2211, 2012.

10) List these numbers in ascending order: 321, 123, 213, 312, 231, 132.

Round a whole number or a decimal number to a specified place value

Whole number:
1. Locate the rounding place.
2. Examine the digit to the right. 
3. Round down by replacing digits to the right of the rounding place with zeros if the digit in the rounding place is less than 5.
4. Round up by adding 1 to the rounding place and replacing digits to the right of the rounding place with zeros if the digit in the rounding place is 5 or more.

Round 5,632 to the nearest hundred.

6 is in the hundreds place; 3 is the digit to the right and 3 is less than 5.
Leave the 6 as is and replace the digits in the tens and ones places with zeros. 
The rounded value is 5,600.

Decimal number:
Round as in whole numbers, but digits after the decimal to the right of the digit in the rounding place are dropped rather than replaced with zeros.

Round 7.96 to the nearest tenth.

9 is in the tenths place and 6 is the digit to the right. 
6 is greater than 5, so add 1 to 9, giving 10. 
Place the zero in the tenths place and carry the 1 to the 7 in the ones place, making it an 8. 
Drop the 6.

The rounded value is 8.0. The zero is not dropped. This shows that the value is to the nearest tenth instead of the nearest whole.

Add and subtract whole numbers and decimals

Addition is a binary operation that is commutative (order does not matter): a + b = b + a

3 + 6 = 6 + 3 = 9                                                                                   Commutative property of addition

Addition is associative (grouping does not matter): (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) 

(5 + 2) + 4 = 5 + (2 + 4) = 11                                                                Associative property of addition

Zero property of addition (additive identity): 0 + n = n + 0 = n 

0 + 5 = 5 + 0 = 5                                                                                  Zero property of addition

Add whole numbers: Arrange addends in columns of like places. Add each column, beginning with the ones place. Carry (regroup) when necessary.
Picture
Add decimal numbers:

Add decimal numbers by arranging the addends so that the decimal points are aligned.

Add: 34.27 + 4.3 + 0.584

Arrange addends so that the decimal points are aligned.

Picture
Estimate and check addition:
Estimate by rounding the addends before finding the sum.
Check addition by adding a second time.

Estimate the sum of 528 and 867 by rounding to the nearest hundred:
528 + 867                                                                   Round each number.
500 + 900 = 1,400                                                     Add to give approximate sum.
                                                                                 Exact sum is 1,395.

Subtraction is a binary operation that is neither commutative nor associative.
Addition and subtraction are inverse operations.

If 6 + 7 = 13, then 13 – 6 = 7 or 13 – 7 = 6.                   Inverse operations

Zero property of subtraction: n – 0 = n

8 – 0 = 8                                                                     Zero property of subtraction

Subtract whole numbers:
Arrange numbers in columns of like places.
Subtract each column beginning with the ones place.
Regroup when necessary.

Picture
Subtract decimal numbers:
Subtract decimal numbers by arranging the minuend and subtrahend so that the decimal points are aligned.

Subtract: 28.364 – 5.0774
Picture
Estimate subtraction:
Estimate by rounding the minuend and subtrahend before finding the difference.

Estimate the difference between 982 and 328 by rounding to the nearest hundred:

982 – 328                                                               Round each number to hundreds.
1,000 – 300 = 700                                                   Subtract.
                                                                             Approximate difference.
                                                                             Exact difference is 982 – 328 = 654.

Check subtraction:
Check subtraction by adding the difference and the subtrahend.
The result should equal the minuend.


Check the difference in the previous example
982 – 328 = 654.654 + 328 = 982                             Difference + Subtrahend = Minuend
