Tips:
• When using written form, always put a hyphen (-) between the places of
tens and ones.
• The places within numbers will always stay the same. No matter what
numbers are used, the ten thousands place will always be the ten
thousands place.
• The values of numbers will change. A 3 in the tens places will have a
value of 30. A 3 in the hundred thousands place will have a value of
300,000.
