Alright?

When we talk about numbers, we're talking about numbers of different lengths.
3
13520
3340
00:16
So let's start and if you have trouble with this, don't worry, just take it step by step.

I know it seems like as the numbers get longer, it becomes more and more difficult to describe
5
22080
6440
00:28
them but let's see how we do that, okay?
6
28520
7520
00:36
So right now we have a number on the board, that number is 5.
7
36040
8400
00:44
Now we have made it 65.
8
44440
7480
00:51
Now we have made it 265.
9
51920
5120
00:57
You see that we added the word "and", 265.
10
57040
6960
01:04
First 5, 65, 265.
11
64000
9640
01:13
Now it says 4,265.
12
73640
7200
01:20
When we add the thousand, we still keep this "and" that we said with the hundred.
13
80840
5680
01:26
So once again, this would be 4,265.
14
86520
10880
01:37
Now it says 74,265, 74,265, right?
15
97400
8520
01:45
The number is becoming larger, sorry, we have a little bit of disturbance here with some
16
105920
13400
01:59
of our activities out on Yonge Street in Toronto.
17
119320
4840
02:04
So now this number is 474,274,265, all right, 474,265, all right?
18
124160
24160
02:28
Now we go into the millions, we say 5,474,265, once again, 5,474,265.
19
148320
25200
02:53
Let's go one more step, you're getting richer and richer, 65,474,265, all right, 3,365,474,265,
20
173520
20640
03:14
okay?
21
194160
11600
03:25
Now let's go one more step.
22
205760
4600
03:30
Now you are a billionaire, 5,365,474, something's wrong there, let's go back, 5,365,474,265,
23
210360
28360
03:58
okay, one more time, say it with me, 5,365,474,265, all right?
24
238720
16920
04:15
Now let's go back the other way.
25
255640
4240
04:19
Now it's 365,474,265, now it's 65,474,265, 5,474,265.
26
259880
25560
04:45
Now we're just going to say this part, 474,265, 74,265, 4,265, 265, 65 and 5, okay?
27

So I hope this little lesson has helped you to learn how to say numbers and if you're
28

having trouble, just go step by step like that, add one more digit or number each time
29
319320
6520
05:25
and see at what point you start to make a mistake and then focus on correcting that
30
325840
6080
05:31
part of what you're saying, okay?
