Help your students discover the meaning behind Greek and Latin numerical prefixes with the Word Origins: Numerical Prefixes resource. This task requires students to research the meaning behind 16 numerical prefixes and apply their understanding by providing examples and writing sentences.

This task is spread across two pages and comes in a variety of versions:

• The first version includes the 16 numerical prefixes listed in the table.
• The second version includes a mixture of prefixes, meanings and examples and will require students to apply their prior knowledge and research skills to determine the missing parts.
• The third version has been left blank for independent student research or for you to add the numerical prefixes of your choice.
