Comparing Numbers to 100,000

3rd Gradeβ€’90 minutesβ€’TEK 3.2D

Learning Objective

I can compare and order numbers up to 100,000 using symbols like >, <, or =.

Key Concepts

The greater than symbol shows that one number is bigger, while the less than symbol shows that one number is smaller.

When you compare numbers, you are deciding which is greater, less, or equal, and when you order numbers, you are putting them in order from smallest to largest or largest to smallest.

When comparing numbers, always start with the greatest place value because it has the most impact on the number's overall value.
