Lesson 1: Visualizing Numbers Up to 10 000

To visualize and identify numbers from 1 000 through 10 000, represent the numbers
by the objects and counting objects, then by one thousand, one hundred, tens and
ones. Since it is difficult to count individual objects, we can group by thousands,
hundreds, tens and ones.
Example: By using the straws you can identify the following numbers.

A. Giving the place value and value of a digit in 4- to 5-digit numbers.

• The value of each digit depends on its position in the number.
• The digits in a number are separated into groups of three called a period.
• A space or comma is used to separate the periods.
• Each place value is ten times greater than the place value to its left.
• Zero is used as a place holder.

Example:
In 9 692
a. The digit 6 is in units period.
b. The digit 6 has a place value of hundreds.
c. The digit 6 has a value of 600.

B. Reading and writing numbers up to 10 000 in symbols and in words.

• To write numbers in standard form, use space to separate the periods.
• To read numbers, start from left to right. Read the number and state the name
of the period, except the unit’s period.

Example:
How will you write one thousand four hundred ninety in standard form?

Lesson 2: Rounding Numbers to the Nearest Ten, Hundred and Thousand

When a number is rounded-off to any specified place value, locate the place
value of the digit that is being rounded-off and look at the digit to its right. If the digit on
the right of the number is less than 5, round down, which means retain the digit to be
rounded-off and change all the digits to its right with zeros.
If the digit on the right of the number is 5 or more, round up which means add 1
to the digit being rounded-off and change all the digits to its right with zeros.
Example:
9 753
To the nearest tens, it is rounded to 9 750 since the digit on the right of 5 is 3.
To the nearest hundreds, it is rounded to 9 800 since the digit on the right of 7 is 5.
To the nearest thousands, it is rounded to 10 000 since the digit on the right of 9 is 7.

A. Comparing using relation symbols and orders in increasing or decreasing order 4- to

5-digit numbers up to 10 000.
• To compare numbers, begin with the digits in the highest place value.
• The symbols >, < or = are used to compare numbers.
• is greater than
o < is less than
o = is equal to

Example:
Compare 7 556 and 7 549.
7 556 7 = 7 thousands place
7 549 5 = 5 hundreds place
5 > 4 tens place
So, 7 556 > 7 549

Lesson 3: Identifying Ordinal Numbers from 1st to 100th with Emphasis on the
21st to 100th Object in a Given Set from a Given Point of Reference
Ordinal numbers tell the position of the thing or place from a given thing or place.
To form the ordinal numbers, just add the suffix to the number word or at the end of the
number except the word for 1, 2 and 3.

Study Table Below

Example:
Arrange the English alphabet and the first 50 numbers in a row, then write the ordinal
number that represents the following letters and digits.
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34,
35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50

Lesson 4: Recognizing, Reading and Writing Money in Symbols and in Words

Through PhP1 000 in Pesos and Centavos

Philippine bills come in different denominations. Images of the Filipino heroes and
presidents are printed and engraved on each paper bill and coin. The Php symbol is
used to represent peso.
• To read money, separate the pesos and centavos by the word “and”.
• To write an amount of money, use the Php sign and decimal point. The decimal
point separates the pesos from centavos.

Study the Table below

Examples:
Write the following amount in symbols.
1. Php 975.00 - Nine hundred seventy-five pesos
2. Php 894.75 - Eight hundred ninety-four pesos and seventy-five centavos
3. Php 749.00 - Seven hundred forty-nine pesos

A. Comparing values of the different denominations of coins and bills through PhP1 000
using relation symbols.
Ø To compare the amount of money, simply compare the denominations of each
bill and coin.
Ø The symbols > (is greater than), < (is less than) and = (is equal to) can be used to
compare amount of money.

Example 1:
Comparison of the following amount of money
using >, < or =. 1.
>

Example 2:

1. ₱ 3, 049.00 = ₱ 3, 049.00

2. ₱ 899.00 < ₱ 998.00

3. ₱ 65,009.00 < ₱ 69, 005.00

4. ₱ 28,147.00 > ₱ 27,841.00

5. ₱ 30,000 + 6 = ₱ 30,006

Lesson 5: Adding 3- to 4-Digit Numbers Up to Three Addends with Sums Up

to 10000 Without and with Regrouping
• Addition is the process of combining two or more numbers.
• Addends are the numbers being combined.
• Sum is the answer in addition.
• To add numbers without regrouping, add the digit that belongs to the same place
value position. The terms plus, sum, total, increased and more than indicates
addition process.
Arrange the following numbers in column then add.
a. 236, 421 c. 5 201, 2 324, 1 363, 101

236 5 201
+ 421 2 324
657 1 363
+ 101
b. 2 351, 3 027, 4 200 8 989
2 351
3 027
+ 4 200
9 578
In adding numbers with regrouping, arrange the digit in column according to its place
value position. Start adding in ones place, tens place, hundreds place and so on. When
regrouping, be sure that you “carried 1 or more” to the next higher place value.
Add 3 468, 4 932 and 2 246

1 1 1 – carries
3 4 6 8
4 9 3 2 – addends
+ 6 2 4 6
1 4 6 4 6 – sum or total

A. Estimating the sum of 3- to 4-digit addends with reasonable results.

Ø To estimate the sum, round-off each addend to the largest place value position
then add. The estimated sum can be a number less than or greater than the exact
sum.

Example:
1. 2,645 3,000 2. 876 900 3. 9,718 10,000
+ 1,738 2,000 + 219 200 +2,345 2,000
5,000 1100 12,000

Lesson 6: Adding Mentally the Following Numbers Using Appropriate

Strategies:

• 2-digit and 1-digit numbers without or with regrouping

• 2- to 3-digit numbers with multiples of hundreds

Mental addition strategy is to group the numbers into other numbers that are easier to
work with.
Example:

Add: a. 340 + 530 b. 47 + 33 = N

47 + 30 + 3 split 33 30 + 3
340 + 530
300 + 40 + 500 + 30 77 + 3 = 80

800 + 70
=870
c. 55 + 95 = (50 + 5) + 95
= 50 + (5 + 95) } 95 needs 5 more to
make 100, so split 55
= 50 + 100 as 5 and 50
= 150 =150

Lesson 7: Solving Routine and Non-Routine Problems Using Addition

When solving routine and non-routine problems using addition, analyze the
problem. Plan how to solve the problem. Solve, then check back your answer.

Example 1: During the typhoon Yolanda, many people became homeless. The NGO
distributed canned goods. On the first day, 786 cans were distributed. On the
second day, 1 258 were again distributed. How many canned goods were
distributed in two days?
• Read and Analyze
a. What are the given?
786 – number of canned goods distributed in day 1
1 258 – number of canned goods distributed on day 2
b. What is asked?
How many canned goods were distributed in two days?
• Plan how to solve
a. How are you going to solve the problem? What equation will be used?
Add the number of canned goods delivered in two days.
b. What is the number sentence or equation to be used?
786 + 1 258 = n
• Solve:
786 + 1 258 = n
2 044 = n
• Check back:
Did you answer the question in the problem?
2 044 canned goods were distributed in 2 days.
Example 2:
Mr. Cruz gives his three children their weekly allowance. Amara receives ₱250,
Mariel receives ₱325, and Brylle receives ₱400. How much money must Mr. Cruz prepare
for his children’s allowance before the start of the week?

To find the amount Mr. Cruz needs weekly, follow these steps.
• Read and Analyze
a. What are given?
b. What is asked?
• Plan how to solve
a. How are you going to solve the problem? What equation will be used?

Lesson 8: Subtracting 3 to 4-Digit Numbers Without Regrouping

• Subtraction is the process of taking away a number from another number.

• Minuend is the number from which another number is subtracted.
• Subtrahend is the number that is subtracted from another number.
• Difference is the answer in subtraction.
• To subtract numbers, start subtracting in ones place, then the tens place, then the
hundreds place and thousands place.
• The terms minus, decreased by, diminished by, subtracted from and less than
illustrate subtraction.
Example: Mrs. Navarro collected the notebooks of her Grade 3 pupils. She collected
258 notebooks from five sections. After checking the notebooks of two
sections, she returned the 112 notebooks. How many notebooks were left to
her?
To determine the number of notebooks left to Mrs. Navarro, subtract 112 from 258.
258 - Minuend
- Subtrahend Therefore, 146 notebooks were left.
- 112
146 - Difference
A. Subtracting 3 to 4-Digit Numbers with Regrouping

Ø To subtract numbers with regrouping, rename the tens, hundreds and thousands
if needed, then subtract. Check the answer by adding the difference and the
subtrahend.
Example: What is 805 decreased by 327?

7 915 There are no tens to regroup.

8 0 5 8 hundreds is the same as 80 tens.
- 32 7 Regroup 80 tens and 5 ones.
4 7 8 80 tens and 5 ones = 79tens and 15 ones
Now subtract.
B. Estimating the Difference of 3 to4-Digit Numbers
Ø To find the estimated difference, round-off the minuend and subtrahend to the
highest place value position, then subtract.
Ø The word “about” does not require an exact answer so we estimate. To find the
estimated difference, round-off each number to the highest place value position
then subtract.
Example: Estimate the difference and compare it to the actual difference
a. 6 987 7 000 b. 798 800
- 2 259 2 000 - 396 400
4 728 > 5 000 402 > 400

Lesson 9: Subtracting 2 to 3-Digit Numbers Mentally

To subtract 2 to 3-digit numbers mentally, add or subtract the same number to

both minuend and subtrahend to change the subtrahend to a multiple of 10.

Example 1: Subtract: 23 from 60.

Solution: 60 – 23 = N Split 23 as 20 + 3
60 – 20 - 3

40 – 3 = 37

Subtract 3 to the minuend and subtrahend to make the subtrahend multiple

of 10, then subtract.

Example 2: Subtract 90 from 612.

Solution: 612 – 90 = 512 + (100 – 90)
= 512 + 10
512 + 100 = 522

1. Analyze the problem
2. Plan how to solve the problem
3. Solve
4. Check back your answer.

Example: Rica was able to read 123 pages of her 180-page storybook. How many more
pages does she still need to read to finish the entire book?

Read and Analyze

Ø What is asked?
How many more pages does Rica still need to read to finish the book?
Ø What are the given?
123 – Pages read
180 – Total pages of the storybook
Plan how to solve
Ø How are you going to solve the problem? What operation will be used?
Subtract the total number of pages by the number of pages read.
Ø What will be the number sentence or equation to be used?
180 - 123 = n
Solve:
Ø 180 - 123 = n
