Spelling Numbers | PDF - Free Printable

Problem Description:

The task involves spelling out numbers using tiles and sorting them into piles labeled 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. The image provides a list of number words spelled out using letter tiles, each with a subscript indicating its point value.

Objective:

- Identify the total point value for each number word.
- Sort the tiles into piles based on their corresponding numerical values (e.g., "ONE" goes into pile 1, "TWO" goes into pile 2, etc.).

Solution Approach:

1. Identify the Point Values:
- Each tile has a subscript that represents its point value.
- Sum the point values of all tiles in each word to get the total point value for that number.

2. Calculate the Total Point Value for Each Number:
- For each number word, add up the point values of its constituent tiles.

3. Sort the Tiles into Piles:
- Place each number word into the pile corresponding to its numerical value.

Step-by-Step Calculation:

#### 1. ONE
- Tiles: O (1), N (1), E (1)
- Total Points: \( 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 \)
- Pile: 1

#### 2. TWO
- Tiles: T (1), W (4), O (1)
- Total Points: \( 1 + 4 + 1 = 6 \)
- Pile: 2

#### 3. THREE
- Tiles: T (1), H (4), R (1), E (1), E (1)
- Total Points: \( 1 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 8 \)
- Pile: 3

#### 4. FOUR
- Tiles: F (4), O (1), U (1), R (1)
- Total Points: \( 4 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 7 \)
- Pile: 4

#### 5. FIVE
- Tiles: F (4), I (1), V (4), E (1)
- Total Points: \( 4 + 1 + 4 + 1 = 10 \)
- Pile: 5

#### 6. SIX
- Tiles: S (1), I (1), X (8)
- Total Points: \( 1 + 1 + 8 = 10 \)
- Pile: 6

#### 7. SEVEN
- Tiles: S (1), E (1), V (4), E (1), N (1)
- Total Points: \( 1 + 1 + 4 + 1 + 1 = 8 \)
- Pile: 7

#### 8. EIGHT
- Tiles: E (1), I (1), G (2), H (4), T (1)
- Total Points: \( 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 1 = 9 \)
- Pile: 8

Final Sorting:

- Pile 1: ONE (Total Points: 3)
- Pile 2: TWO (Total Points: 6)
- Pile 3: THREE (Total Points: 8)
- Pile 4: FOUR (Total Points: 7)
- Pile 5: FIVE (Total Points: 10)
- Pile 6: SIX (Total Points: 10)
- Pile 7: SEVEN (Total Points: 8)
- Pile 8: EIGHT (Total Points: 9)

Final Answer:

\[
\boxed{
\begin{aligned}
&\text{Pile 1: ONE (3 points)} \\
&\text{Pile 2: TWO (6 points)} \\
&\text{Pile 3: THREE (8 points)} \\
&\text{Pile 4: FOUR (7 points)} \\
&\text{Pile 5: FIVE (10 points)} \\
&\text{Pile 6: SIX (10 points)} \\
&\text{Pile 7: SEVEN (8 points)} \\
&\text{Pile 8: EIGHT (9 points)}
\end{aligned}
}
