my daughter has a sheet that says..."write the number in short word form"

Re: need help from any teachers.. math question 5th grade

Re: need help from any teachers.. math question 5th grade
i'm a fifth grade teacher and have never heard the term "short word form"!
my guess would be as the others said,like you write a check.
(oh, and just so you know, there would be no "and" between thousand and forty one - just sixty two thousand, forty one) ("and" signifies a decimal point).

Re: need help from any teachers.. math question 5th grade
i agree. Maybe it's the teachers way of showing the difference between writing
sixty-two thosand forty one
and six ten thousands, two thousands... etc.
That's all i can think of.
