Place value houses

The houses: Place value houses help you to understand and say large numbers. From the right, the houses are formed as groups of three digits. The first house has no name. The second house is called the 'Thousands', followed by the 'Millions' and so on.

Why is it useful?: If you want to say any large number, read the group of digits starting from the left in a single box. For example, if the 'Millions' house contains '365' then read it as 'Three hundred and sixty-five million'. Repeat this until there are no numbers or houses left to pronounce.

How to use: Type in a number you want read to you. Press 'Read number'. Make sure your volume is turned up. The number will be read to you and it will highlight the houses as they are read. Hopefully this will help you in your understanding of how to read big numbers.`
