1Write the number: Thirty-five thousand six hundred and seventy-two =?🌱
2Read the number: 50,208 = ?🌱
3In the number 8,406,125, where is "4"? How much does it mean?🌿
4Write the number: seven million and five hundred =?🌿
5Comparing sizes: Which is larger, 7,654,321 or 7,645,321?🌱
II.Core Knowledge + Worked Examples
Knowledge Point 1: Multi-digit numbers and reading and writing rules🔴 SSPA
Digit sequence (from right to left):Units → Tens → Hundreds → Thousands → Tens of Thousands → Hundreds of Thousands → Millions → Tens of Tens → Hundreds of Hundreds
Hong Kong sectioning method (four digits per digit):From right to left, draw one digit for every four digits: one level | ten thousand level | billion level
Reading rules:First read "Level 100" → then read "Level 10,000" → finally read "Level 1". Each level is internally read as thousands and hundreds of ten
The reading method of 0 - the most important rule:The 0 at the end of each level is not read; the consecutive 0s in the middle of each level only read one "zero"
🪤 Example of trap detonation (the most important demonstration in this class)
Read the number: 706,850,041
❌ Common mistakes
706,850,041
Read the extra zeros!
✅ Correct pronunciation
706,850,041
The 0 at the end of level 10,000 is not read, and the 0 in the middle of each level is only read as one.
🧠 Formula: "Four digits are divided into three levels, and billions of levels are read sequentially. There is no zero at the end of each level, and one in the middle is read continuously."
⚠️ The three most common reading errors: ① The 0 at the end of each level is read out ② Multiple consecutive 0s are read multiple times in the middle ③ Forgetting to separate sections and reading directly
Knowledge Point - Worked Examples

Example 1Readout: 800,695,000🌱
Example 2Write: five hundred and three thousand and sixty =?🌿
Knowledge Point 2: Digital Values ​​and Number Composition🔴 SSPA
① Each number represents a different value at differentdigits② For example, in 821,675,439: "8" in
billion digits→ represents 800,000,000; "2" in|||SEP||| → means 20,000,000Killer question type:"Use numbers to form the largest/smallest number that meets the conditions" (the position rule of 0 must be considered)
Killer question type:"Use numbers to form the largest number/smallest number that meets the conditions" (the position rule of 0 must be considered)
example
Example 3: In 5,082,701, where is "8"? How much does it mean?
Knowledge point 3: Comparison and sorting of multi-digit numbers🔴 SSPA
Rules for comparing sizes:Compare digits first (more digits → larger); same digits → compare digits one by one starting from the highest digit
Notes on sorting:Make sure the question requires "from large to small" or "from small to large"
Traps:Numbers containing 0 are easily misjudged (such as 5,030,000 vs 5,003,000)
example
Example 4: Arrange 5,713,941, 57,168,931 and 5,719,871 from largest to smallest.

IV.🏔️The ultimate challenge
#QuestionDifficultyWorking Space
🏔️1A nine-digit number, its tens of millions and millions digits are all 0, the numbers in other digits are different, and the sum of all numbers is 30. What is the largest possible number? What about the smallest one?🏔️
🏔️2Use the numbers 0-9 one at a time to form a tens digit (0 cannot be in the highest position). Requirement: When reading out, the number of "zeros" should be the minimum. How can this number be written? How many times do you read zero at least?🏔️
🏔️3There is a nine-digit number, its billion digit is 2, the tens of millions and millions digits are both 0, and the hundred thousand digit is 5. If the number reads only two "zeros", the remaining numbers are different and as large as possible. What is this number? Read it out.🏔️

#common errorCorrect Approach
1Sectioning error |||SEP|||: three characters and one word (mainland custom): Three digits and one digit (mainland custom)Hong Kong uses four digits: one, ten thousand, and billions
2The 0 at the end of each level reads out |||SEP|||: 806.95 million: 806.95 millionThe 0 at the end of each level does not read: 806.95 million
3Read multiple times with 0 in the middleContinuous 0 reads only one "zero"
4Fill in missing zeros when writing numbers |||SEP|||: fifty million and five → 50000005:50 million and five→50000005Correct: 50,000,005 (0 should be added to the middle seven digits)
5Ratio size ignores the effect of 0Bit by bit comparison, 0 is also a number
