🗝️Key Concepts:
🌟Place Value:Each digit’s value depends on its position (e.g., in 6,789, the digit 6 is in the thousands place, so its value is 6,000).
🌟Expanded Form:Breaks a number into its place values (e.g., 6,789 = 6,000 + 700 + 80 + 9).
🌟Word Form:Writes the number in words (e.g., 6,789 = six thousand seven hundred eighty-nine).
🌟Example:
The Number Nabber hides a 6-digit treasure code: 345,678.
🌟Standard form: 345,678
🌟Expanded form: 300,000 + 40,000 + 5,000 + 600 + 70 + 8
🌟Word form: Three hundred forty-five thousand six hundred seventy-eight
Try It: What is the place value of 4 in 54,321? (Answer: 4,000)
🗝️Key Concepts:
🧩Indian System:
🔍Place values: Ones, Tens, Hundreds, Thousands, Ten Thousands, Lakhs.
🔍Comma Placement: Start from the right; place the first comma after 3 digits (hundreds), then every 2 digits (e.g., 123456 → 1,23,456).
Example: 234567 → 2,34,567 (2 lakhs, 34 thousand, 567).
🧩International System:
🔍Place values: Ones, Tens, Hundreds, Thousands, Ten Thousands, Hundred Thousands, Millions.
🔍Comma Placement: Start from the right; place commas every 3 digits (e.g., 123456 → 123,456).
🔍Example: 234567 → 234,567 (234 thousand, 567).
🧩Word Form Difference:
🔍Indian: 2,34,567 = Two lakh thirty-four thousand five hundred sixty-seven.
🔍International: 234,567 = Two hundred thirty-four thousand five hundred sixty-seven.
🔍Example:
🪄Treasure code: 567890
In Indian System:
🌟Commas: 5,67,890 (place comma after 890, then after 67).

Try It: Write 789123 with commas in the Indian system and in words. (Answer: 7,89,123; Seven lakh eighty-nine thousand one hundred twenty-three)
3. Comparison of Numbers, Ascending/Descending Order
🗝️Key Concepts:
🔍Comparison: Check digits from the highest place value to the lowest (e.g., compare 56,789 and 56,987 by checking digits step-by-step).
🔍Ascending Order: List numbers from smallest to largest (e.g., 23,456; 34,567; 45,678).
🔍Descending Order: List numbers from largest to smallest (e.g., 45,678; 34,567; 23,456).
🔍Example:
🧠Compare 234,567 and 234,678:
🧩Commas: 2,34,567 (Indian) or 234,567 (International)
🧩The digits are same in hundred thousands/lakhs, ten thousands, thousands->(2, 3, 4).The hundreds place is different, so we compare them
🧩Hundreds place: 5 vs 6 -> (5 < 6), so 234,567 < 234,678.
🧠Arrange in ascending order: 5,67,890; 5,67,908; 5,76,890 (Indian system).
🧩Compare digits: 5,67,890 < 5,67,908 < 5,76,890 (check thousands and hundreds).
🧠Try It:Arrange 89,123; 88,912; 89,213 (use commas: 89,123; 88,912; 89,213) in descending order. (Answer: 89,213; 89,123; 88,912)

The place value of 8 is 8,000 (in the thousands place)
Face value means the digit itself, no matter where it appears.
Example: In 48,752,
The face value of 8 is simply 8
✅ Example Table:
Digit | Place | Place Value | Face Value |
---|---|---|---|
4 | Ten Thousand | 40,000 | 4 |
8 | Thousand | 8,000 | 8 |
7 | Hundred | 700 | 7 |
5 | Ten | 50 | 5 |
2 | One | 2 | 2 |
🚀Comparison of Numbers
🪄Compare number of digits first
🪄If digits are same, compare from left to right
✅ Example
Compare 78,901 and 78,099-start the comparison from the left most digit
78,901 > 78,099
🚀Ordering Numbers
Ascending Order = Smallest → Largest
Descending Order = Largest → Smallest
✅ Example
Arrange 456789, 456987, 465789 in ascending order:
🧩456789 < 456987 < 465789

Picture Based Solved Puzzles (Answers after the exercise)
Question 1: The Number Nabber clues
Question: The Number Nabber says, “Follow my clues to the treasure! Arrange the numbers 12,890, 67,543, and 98,765 in ascending order (smallest to largest) to find the right path. Then, arrange them in descending order (largest to smallest) to avoid the jellybean trap! But wait—Clumsy Carl spilled 5,000 extra gold coins, and you must add that to the smallest number in the ascending order to unlock the final clue. What order should you follow for each path, and what’s the new total for the final clue?”
Hint: Start with the smallest number for ascending order and the biggest for descending order. Add 5,000 to the smallest number after arranging—watch Carl’s mess!
Question 2:Clumsy Carl’s Number Pile
Question: Oh no! Clumsy Carl dropped his coins! Arrange the numbers 23,456, 67,890, 12,345, and 89,123 in ascending order. Then, for the number 50,000 (which he lost), find its predecessor and successor to help him find it. What are they?
Hint: Sort from smallest to largest first. The predecessor is one less, and the successor is one more than 50,000.
