What kids do
“Compare the hundreds first, then the tens, then the ones.”
Printed on the sheet:
- Write <, > or =
Teacher tip
Have kids write each number in a quick place value chart before comparing. Lining up the digits makes it obvious.
How to use it
- Read each number out loud as a class so kids hear the place names.
- Let kids use a place value mat or a folded paper chart under their sheet.
- Do the first problem together under a document camera, then let kids finish on their own.
Watch for
Rounding the wrong digit. Have kids underline the place they are rounding to first.
Talk about it
- What happens to a number when you move a digit one place to the left?
- Which problem was the hardest? What made it hard?
