1. Write the numbers in a sequence—forward and backward as indicated. a) 1027 1028 The row of tulips printed on page 53. Only the first two carry numbers.

1027 1028 Eight tulips in the row. Two carry numbers. 1028 comes just after 1027, so the count goes forward one at a time. 1027, 1028, 1029, 1030, 1031, 1032, 1033, 1034 1027 1028 1029 1030 1031 1032 1033 1034 All eight tulips numbered. Why it happens: counting on by one changes only the Ones digit until it reaches 9; then the Tens digit goes up by one.

1. Write the numbers in a sequence—forward and backward as indicated. b) 2008 2009 The bird and the row of boxes printed on page 53. Two of the boxes already carry numbers.

2008 2009 Eight boxes beside the bird. The first box is empty. The first box is before 2008, so we count backward once, then forward. Before 2008 → 2008 – 1 = 2007 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 All eight boxes filled in. Why it happens: going backward is counting down by one, so we take 1 away from the number we already know.

Q1.

Look at the table below and fill in the blanks. (The two rows of tokens printed at the top of page 53.)

Tokens	Expanded Form	Th	H	T	O	Number	Number Name

Answer

The table as the book prints it:

Tokens	Expanded Form	Th	H	T	O	Number	Number Name

Sort the tokens of each row by size and count them.

Row 1: 6 thousands, 6 hundreds, 6 tens, 6 ones
6000 + 600 + 60 + 6 = 6666

Row 2: 9 thousands, no hundreds, 9 tens, no ones
9000 + 0 + 90 + 0 = 9090

The completed table:

Tokens	Expanded Form	Th	H	T	O	Number	Number Name
	6000 + 600 + 60 + 6	6	6	6	6	6666	Six thousand six hundred sixty six
	9000 + 0 + 90 + 0	9	0	9	0	9090	Nine thousand ninety

Why it happens: in 9090 there is no hundred token and no one token, so 0 goes into the H and the O columns to hold those places open.

Q2.

1. Write the numbers in a sequence—forward and backward as indicated. a)

The row of tulips printed on page 53. Only the first two carry numbers.

Answer

Eight tulips in the row. Two carry numbers.

1028 comes just after 1027, so the count goes forward one at a time.

1027, 1028, 1029, 1030, 1031, 1032, 1033, 1034

All eight tulips numbered.

Why it happens: counting on by one changes only the Ones digit until it reaches 9; then the Tens digit goes up by one.

Q3.

1. Write the numbers in a sequence—forward and backward as indicated. b)

The bird and the row of boxes printed on page 53. Two of the boxes already carry numbers.

Answer

Eight boxes beside the bird. The first box is empty.

The first box is before 2008, so we count backward once, then forward.

Before 2008 → 2008 – 1 = 2007
2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014

All eight boxes filled in.

Why it happens: going backward is counting down by one, so we take 1 away from the number we already know.
