~
Understanding, reading and saying large numbers: (place value)
~
Material World, vocabulary from that book
Area= how much land there is in this country= how big the country is
Population= how many people live in this country
Fertility rate= average number of babies one woman (family) has= how many children are born (birth) in each family= how many babies are born to each woman (the babies might not live, this is just the number of babies that are born to one woman)
Percentage= how many out of 100
examples:
0 % means 0 out of 100 = 0/100 = none
20 % means 20 out of 100 = 20/100
50 % means 50 out of 100 = 50/100
75 % means 75 out of 100 = 75/100
90 % means 90 out of 100 = 90/100
100 % means 100 out of 100 = 100/100 = all
