Compare the hundreds first. If they match, compare the tens, then the ones. The first place that differs decides which number is greater.
greater than>, the bigger number comes first
less than<, the smaller number comes first
equal=, the same amount
comparedecide which is more
Watch for: Comparing the ones first: thinking 452 > 480 because 2 > 0. Pointing the sign the wrong way. Deciding by the sum of the digits instead of place value.
At home: Compare prices, page counts or scores: which is more, 480 or 452? Ask your child which place told them.
New problems every time, three levels (gentle, core and stretch), themes to pick from, a second page if you want one. Each sheet comes with an answer key and a one-page guide for grown-ups.
