to find out if numeral reading is different in Russian and English and how to read them correctly.

• To find the information;
• To analyze and systemize the information;
• To test my classmates to know how well they can read numerals;
• To make a presentation in PowerPoint;
• To learn how to use Microsoft Office Publisher and to make a brochure «Rules of reading numerals»;
• To develop communication skills;
• To enlarge my vocabulary.

It gives the opportunity to read English numerals correctly.

The hypothesis

I suppose my classmates will find it difficult to read some numerals in English. In the first place, they will be fractions.

• Theoretical methods are studying the information, analysis and synthesis.
• The empirical method is testing.

• The children easily read years, cardinal and ordinal numerals. However, the year of 1900 was a mistake.
• My classmates had difficulties reading fractions.
• Thus, my hypothesis was confirmed: children can read not all numerals.
• The reason for this is that in the English lessons we don’t meet fractions every day.

• It is a part of speech that denotes the quantity and the order of things.

Numeral

Ordinal

Cardinal

• In English numerals do not change by cases.
• In both languages numerals can be simple and composite.

Simple

Composite

• numerals from 1 to 12.
• to form numerals from 13 to 19. We should add the suffix -teen to the numeral from 3 to 9. But there is a secret with thirteen.

• to form numerals from 20 to 90 we should add the suffix –ty. For example, six + - ty- = sixty.
• Composite numerals are formed easily. As we do it in Russian: sixty-five.

• To give the order of things we should add the suffix –th.

• In fractions the numerator is a cardinal numeral, but the denominator is an ordinal numeral.
• The same is in the Russian language.
• If the numerator is more than one, the denominator is a plural.

• If the integer part is “zero”, we can start reading the number with the point. For example: 0.1 is point one.
• If the integer part is two digits, we can read it by one digit or together. 38.2 - three eight point two or thirty eight point two.
• But 345.6 is only three four five point six.
• After the point numbers are said only by one. For example: 674.54 - six seven four point five four.

• We divide the year into two parts.
• Years ending in two zeros are read like this: 1900 – nineteen hundred.
• Years like 1907 are read nineteen hundred oh seven.
• 2000 is two thousand.

• Years from 2001 to 2009 are cardinal numerals. We read them like 2006 – two thousand (and) six.
• But after 2010 we can read years in two possible ways.
1) two thousand and sixteen 2) twenty sixteen.

• In British English we read this date 2.11.2017 like this: the second of November two thousand and seventeen or twenty seventeen.
• In American English: February eleventh twenty seventeen.
• It means that in Britain the date is: day, month, year, and in America it is month, day, year.

British

American

Day, month, year

Month, day, year

• In Russian we read telephone numbers in tens and hundreds, but in English we should say the numbers by one digit: 555-757-23-11 — five, five, five, seven, five, seven, two, three, one, one.

8(926)578-00-88

• In English words hundred, thousand, million are always singular if we use them in phrases: two hundred, twenty thousand, and four million.
• But in the same position in Russian we use plural of these words.
• In English they can be plural when we use them in such phrases:
• Hundreds of ships
• Millions of stars

• There are some ways to say “zero” in English: zero, o [ou], nill, nought, love.
• Zero is used in Maths and when we say the temperature.
• O is often used when we read telephone numbers.
• Nill means “nothing” , it is used to say the score of the game: Argentina — five, Jamaica — nill.
• Nought means “nothing”.
• Love is used to say tennis scores: ‘The score was thirty love. (30-0)
• The best way to say “zero” is “zero”.

• There are some similarities and differences between Russian and English numerals. If they are similar, it is easy to read them. If they are different, we have difficulties reading them.
• Unlike the Russian language English numerals do not change by cases.
• During the reading test I found out that fractions were difficult to read.
• There are two variants to read dates: American English and British English.

• It was interesting to know that there are some ways to say “zero”.
• The words “hundred”, “thousand”, “million” are used in singular when they follow the number, but they are used in plural in phrases like “millions of stars”.
• To help my classmates to read numerals correctly I made a brochure and gave it to them.
