64 Instructor’s Manual • Lesson Two Teaching Tips • Present these phrases: cuatrocientos estudiantes, novecientas personas, dos mil libros, once millones de viajeros. Help students deduce the meanings of the numbers. • To practice agreement, write numbers from 101 to 999 followed by various nouns and have students read them aloud. • To make sure that students do not say un mil for one thousand , list 1.000, 2.000, 3.000, and 4.000 on the board. Have the class call out the numbers as you point to them randomly in rapid suc­ cession. Repeat this process for cien mil . Then emphasize that un is used with millón . • Point out that de is used between millón/millones and a noun. • Slowly dictate pairs of large numbers for students to write on separate pieces of paper. When finished writing, students should hold up the larger number. Ex: You say seiscientos cincuenta y ocho mil, ciento catorce; quinientos setenta y siete mil, novecientos treinta y seis ; students hold up 658.114; 577.936 . • Point out how dates are expressed in Spanish and have volunteers read aloud the examples on this page. Then provide word groups that describe famous historical events. Ex: Cristóbal Colón, las Américas; Neil Armstrong, la luna. Have students state the year that they associate with each one. Ex: Mil cuatrocientos noventa y dos. Online Class Tip Use the Forums tool to create a chain activity. You create the initial post with a large number written in numerals. The first student to respond will record themselves saying the number aloud and then post a new large number for the next student to pronounce. TEACHING OPTIONS TPR Write number patterns on cards (one number per card) and distribute them among the class. Begin a number chain by calling out the first two numbers in the pattern. Ex: veinticinco, cincuenta . The students holding these cards have five seconds to get up and stand in front of the class. The rest of the class continues by calling out the numbers in the pattern for the students to join the chain. Continue until the chain is broken or complete; then begin a new pattern. Pairs Ask students to create a list of nine items containing three numerals in the hundreds, three in the thousands, and three in the millions; each numeral should be followed by a masculine or feminine noun. Have students exchange lists with a classmate, who will read the items aloud. Partners should listen for the correct number and gender agreement. Ex: 204 personas (doscientas cuatro personas) 64 Lección 2 sesenta y cuatro Numbers 101 and higher  As shown in the chart, Spanish uses a period to indicate thousands and millions, rather than a comma, as is used in English. Numbers 101 and higher 101 ciento uno 200 doscientos/as 300 trescientos/as 400 cuatrocientos/as 500 quinientos/as 600 seiscientos/as 700 setecientos/as 800 ochocientos/as 900 novecientos/as 1.000 mil 1.100 mil cien 2.000 dos mil 5.000 cinco mil 100.000 cien mil 200.000 doscientos/as mil 550.000 quinientos/as cincuenta mil 1.000.000 un millón (de) 8.000.000 ocho millones (de)  Notice that you should use ciento , not cien , to count numbers over 100. 110 = ciento diez 118 = ciento dieciocho 150 = ciento cincuenta  The numbers 200 through 999 agree in gender with the nouns they modify. 324 plum as trescient as veinticuatro plum as 3.505 libr os tres mil quinient os cinco libr os Hay tres mil quinient os libr os en la biblioteca.  The word mil , which can mean a thousand and one thousand , is not usually used in the plural form to refer to an exact number, but it can be used to express the idea of a lot , many , or thousands . Cientos can also be used to express hundreds in this manner. ¡Hay miles de personas en el estadio! There are thousands of people in the stadium! Hay cientos de libros en la biblioteca. There are hundreds of books in the library.  To express a complex number (including years), string together all of its components. 55.422 cincuenta y cinco mil cuatrocientos veintidós ¡INTÉNTALO! Write out the Spanish equivalent of each number. 1. 102 2. 5.000.000 3. 76 4. 201 5. 92 6. 550.300 7. 113 8. 79 9. 235 10. 88 11. 17.123 12. 497 ciento dos cinco millones setenta y seis doscientos uno noventa y dos quinientos cincuenta mil trescientos ciento trece setenta y nueve doscientos treinta y cinco ochenta y ocho diecisiete mil ciento veintitrés cuatrocientos noventa y siete In Spanish, years are not expressed as pairs of twodigit numbers as they are in English (1979, nineteen seventy-nine ): 1776, mil setecientos setenta y seis; 1945, mil novecientos cuarenta y cinco; 2016, dos mil dieciséis. ¡LENGUA VIVA! When millón or millones is used before a noun, the word de is placed between the two: 1.000.000 hombres = un millón de hombres 12.000.000 casas = doce millones de casas. ¡ ATENC I ÓN! In parts of Latin America, you will see a comma instead of a period to indicate thousands and millions. ¡LENGUA VIVA!
