Common Mistakes

MISTAKE: Writing '10030' when asked to write one hundred thirty. | CORRECTION: Remember that 'one hundred thirty' means 100 + 30, which is 130. The 'hundred' part means the 1 is in the hundreds place, and 'thirty' means 3 is in the tens place.

MISTAKE: Confusing 'one hundred thirty' with 'thirteen'. | CORRECTION: 'Thirteen' is 13, a much smaller number. 'One hundred thirty' is 130, which is ten times larger than thirteen.

MISTAKE: Saying 'one three zero' instead of 'one hundred thirty'. | CORRECTION: While 'one three zero' tells you the digits, 'one hundred thirty' is the correct way to read the number aloud, showing its place value.
