Comparing two numbers

When comparing numbers, it is important to know the value of the most significant digit in each of the numbers. This will tell you how large each number is.

The most significant digit is the first non-zero digit the number has.

The number with the largest-valued most significant digit will be the bigger number, unless it is a negative number.

In the number 2318, the most significant digit is '2' which has the value 2000.

In the number 74.39, the most significant digit is '7' which has the value 70.

In the number 0.0825, the most significant digit is '8' which has the value 0.08.

If the two numbers are both positive integers (whole numbers) then looking at the number of digits the number has will show you which is bigger.

We often use the symbols > < and = when comparing numbers.

Using the symbols > < and =

• a > b means a is greater than b ;
• a < b means a is less than b ;
• a = b meas a is equal to (or has the same value as) b .
• 137 > 129 means that 137 is greater than 129
• 65 < 72 means that 65 is less than 72
• 27 = 20+7 means that 27 has the same value as 20+7

Comparing Numbers and Amounts to 10

Our easiest sheets look at comparing numbers up to 10.

At this stage we use words like most, least, biggest, smallest, equal to, greater than and less than.

As well as comparing numbers, we also compare numbers of 'things'.

• Comparing numbers and size
• Comparing Numbers Worksheets to 10

Comparing numbers to 100

When you are comparing numbers up to 100, you need to look at the value of the tens digit (unless the number is 100).

The number with the larger tens digit will be the bigger number, as the tens digit will be the most significant digit.

The only exception is if either of the numbers are negative - in which case, look at the comparing negative number section.

If the numbers have the same tens digit, then look at the ones digit and see which is more.

• 82 > 68 this means 82 is greater than 68
• 49 < 71 this means 49 is less than 71
• 92 > 78 this means 92 is greater than 78

Comparing numbers up to 3 digits

When you are comparing numbers up to 1000, you need to look at the value of the hundreds digit (unless the number is 1000).

The number with the larger hundreds digit will be the bigger number, as the hundreds digit will be the most significant digit.

If the numbers have the same hundreds digit, then look at the tens digit next and see which is more.

If the numbers have the same hundreds and tens digit, then look at the ones digit to find out which is bigger.

• 672 > 594 this means 672 is greater than 594 the 1st number has a higher hundreds digit so it is bigger.
• 386 < 391 this means 386 is less than 391 the hundreds digits are the same, so we look at the tens digit. The 2nd number has the higher tens digit.
• 102 > 97 this means 102 is greater than 97 the 1st number has a hundreds digit, the 2nd number has no hundreds.
• Ordering Numbers up to 3 digits
• Comparing Numbers up to 3 digits Worksheets

Comparing numbers to 10,000

When you are comparing numbers up to 10,000 you need to look at the value of the thousands digit (unless the number is 10,000).

The number with the larger thousands digit will be the bigger number, as the thousands digit will be the most significant digit.

If the numbers have the same thousands digit, then look at the hundreds digit next and see which is more.

If the numbers have the same hundreds digit, then look at the tens digit to find out which is bigger, and so on.

• 4263 > 4193 the thousands digits are the same, but the 1st number has a bigger hundreds digit.
• 7826 < 9014 the 1st number's thousands digits is 7, the 2nd number's is 9.
• 1407 < 1423 the thousands and hundreds digits are the same, but the 2nd number has a higer tens digit.
• Ordering Numbers to 10,000

Comparing negative numbers

How to compare negative numbers

When you are comparing with negative numbers, everything swaps around and becomes a little more complicated!

With negative numbers, the more negative the number is, the lower its value.

As you go right along the number line, the values are increasing.

As you go left along the number line, the values are decreasing.

This means that any positive number (or even zero) will always be greater than any negative number.

• 0 > -3 this means 0 is greater than -3
• -8 < -5 this means -8 is less than -5
• -27 > -30 this means -27 is greater than -30
• -26 < 2 this means -26 is less than 2
• Ordering Negative Numbers -10 to 10

Comparing decimals

How to Compare Decimals

When you are comparing decimals, you need to look carefully at the value of the most significant digit!

The most significant digit in each decimal below is marked with an arrow.

This means that a decimal like 0.7 is greater than 0.65 because the most significant digit is worth more.

• 1.24 > 0.86 this means 1.24 is greater than 0.86
• 0.35 < 0.5 this means 0.35 is less than 0.5
• 0.7 > 0.586 this means 0.7 is greater than 0.586
• 2.69 < 2.8 this means 2.69 is less than 2.8
• 0.1 > 0.0725 this means 0.1 is greater than 0.0725

Comparing fractions

There are 2 different ways to compare fractions: by converting to decimals, and by converting to like denominators.

If you have a calculator, you can use Method 1 which is easiest.

If you do not have a calculator, then you should use Method 2.

How to compare 2 fractions - Method 1

Step 1) Take your two fractions and convert them both into decimals by dividing the numerator by the denominator.

Step 2) Compare the two decimals to see which is bigger.

Which is bigger 3 / 7 or 2 / 5 ?

Step 1) Change both fractions into decimals: 3 / 7 = 3 ÷ 7 ≈ 0.43 2 / 5 = 2 ÷ 5 = 0.4

Step 2) Compare the decimals: 0.43 > 0.4 so 3 / 7 is greater than 2 / 5

The second way to compare 2 fractions - using like denominators.

How to compare 2 fractions - Method 2

Step 1) Take your two fractions and convert them both into equivalent fractions with the same denominator.

Step 2) Compare the two numerators to see which is bigger.

Which is bigger 5 / 6 or 7 / 8 ?

Step 1) Change both fractions into equivalent fractions with the same denominators. We need to multiply the numerator of each fraction by the other fractions denominator. 5 / 6 becomes 5x8 / 6x8 = 40 / 48 7 / 8 becomes 7x6 / 8x6 = 42 / 48

Step 2) Compare the two numerators Now that the denominators are the same, we can compare the 2 numerators. 40 is less than 42 so 5 / 6 is less than 7 / 8

Introduction to Whole Number Comparison

In our Introduction to Whole Number Comparison lesson plan, students are taught how to compare whole numbers and how different whole numbers relate to each other. This lays a foundation for good math skills as students practice comparing whole numbers.

Description

Additional information.

Our Introduction to Whole Number Comparison lesson plan exposes students to new number comparison symbols and vocabulary. Students are asked to use their creativity to create “alligators” to apply their understanding of using symbols when comparing whole numbers, as well as strengthen critical thinking. Students are also asked to complete practice problems that demonstrate their understanding of the lesson.

At the end of the lesson, students will be able to compare numbers into the hundreds place.

Purpose and Instructional Strategies

• Instruction includes the use of numbers presented in multiple ways and different forms. 
• Instruction includes the understanding that the value of a digit is impacted by its position in a number. 
• Instruction includes the use of place value charts, place value cards, place value disks, place value chips and base ten blocks ( MTR.2.1 ). 
• Instruction includes the use of number lines using benchmark numbers to support comparing. 
• Instruction includes the understanding that numbers can be reordered in both ascending and descending order.

Common Misconceptions or Errors

• Students may incorrectly plot a three-digit numbers in a number line.
• Students may not understand that a representation of a smaller portion of a number line (200 − 220) may have the same physical size as a representation of a larger number line (0 − 1,000). 
• Students may have difficulty comparing two numbers that have the same digits in a different order (i.e., 852 and 582).

Strategies to Support Tiered Instruction

• For example, using numbers like 852 and 582, the students build the two numbers on place value charts. Teacher has students write the number under each of the base ten blocks representation. With the visual representation of the numbers available, ask which number is greater and which number has fewer of each of the base ten blocks. If students identify the incorrect number, teacher points out that there is a greater number of hundreds/flats in 852 than in 582.

Instructional Tasks

Instructional Task 1 ( MTR.2.1 ) 

• Part A. Create four different three-digit numbers that have a 4 in the hundreds place. 
• Part B. Arrange the numbers created in order from greatest to least. Explain why which number is the greatest. 
• Part C. Using two of the numbers created from Part A, write a statement using > or < to compare.

Students randomly pull five cards from a set of digit cards and use them to make the greatest and least three-digit numbers possible. They are also asked to use the greater than or less than symbols to compare the two numbers.

Type: Formative Assessment

Students are asked to compare two numbers used in a word problem and to write an inequality statement showing the relationship between the numbers.

Students are asked to compare numbers and then use the greater than, less than, or equal to symbols to complete inequality statements.

Students are asked to compare numbers with missing digits and explain their reasoning.

Lesson Plans

Students will research the effects of sugary drinks on their health.  They will interpret data on a variety of beverages presented in the form of bar graphs and decide which beverages should be included in school vending machines to ensure students have healthy drink options.

Type: Lesson Plan

In this lesson, students move from comparing three-digit numbers built with base ten blocks to comparing three-digit numbers based on their place value. Students will use the greater than, less than, or equal sign to compare their values.

Written at a second grade level, in this MEA the students will use problem solving skills, two-digit addition, and knowledge of greater than and less than to rank order carnival games based on provided criteria.

Model Eliciting Activities, MEAs, are open-ended, interdisciplinary problem-solving activities that are meant to reveal students’ thinking about the concepts embedded in realistic situations. Click here to learn more about MEAs and how they can transform your classroom.

In teams, students will make a decision on how to select the best crayons for a school supply store based on various crayon characteristics such as cost, transfer to paper, vibrancy of color, color residue, and breakage.

The students have been selected by the cafeteria manager to help rank healthy meal options that have been proposed to be added to the school cafeteria. The students will use information about the food and drink included in the meal, total calories, sodium content, calories from saturated fat, and calories from sugar to come up with a procedure for ranking the meal options. Then students will have to use or adapt their original procedures to include two more meal options in the rankings.

Although, chocolate sales in America have continued to grow, due to the increased awareness of childhood obesity, there is major concern about the nutritional value of chocolate candy bars. Chocolate Delight, a chocolate bar company, wants to improve its sales to elementary students by creating a healthy chocolate bar. They have tested 5 new recipes and need to determine which candy bar is best for children. The students will rank the recipes from best to worst based on the following criteria: healthiness, taste, and nut allergies and make a recommendation of the healthiest recipe to Chocolate Delight.

This lesson puts a spin on comparing three-digit numbers! The students will work cooperatively to compare two three-digit numbers based on the hundreds, tens, and ones place values. The students are encouraged to verbally explain their logic during the game. This is a lesson that will engage your students and can last all week long!

This lesson helps teachers introduce the concept of comparing two numbers up to 1,000 using the terms Greater than, Less than, Equal to, and the symbols >, <, =.

Students will use base-ten blocks, drawings, or place value charts to compare two 3-digit numbers Students will use the <,>, = symbols correctly when comparing numbers.

This whole-class lesson will reinforce the concept of comparing two 3-digit numbers as well as provide practice for students to become comparing experts. Students will use playing cards to practice their skills.

The students use place value to compare two three-digit numbers and write the appropriate symbol >, =, <.

Students will measure the length of given objects using various measuring tools. The students will record their measurements using different units including inches, feet, and yards to the nearest whole unit. Students will also estimate and measure the lengths of objects, then compare their estimations to their measurements to find the difference.

In this lesson, students will compare whole numbers up to 1,000, use the appropriate symbol, and read the comparison correctly.

Problem-Solving Tasks

The purpose of this task if for students to gain a better understanding of <,=,> with the help of number sentences.

</,=,>

Type: Problem-Solving Task

Students who are struggling to build an understanding of the relationship between digit placement and the value of the number may still need concrete manipulatives such as grid paper and Base Ten Blocks. As a classroom extension, after students have worked independently or in small groups to solve the problem, the teacher can ask students to share their numbers, until all six possibilities are listed. Then, independently or as a whole group, students can order the six numbers from smallest to largest (or largest to smallest).

The purpose of this task is for students to gain a better understanding of 3-digit numbers and their place value.

This task requires students to compare numbers that are identified by word names and not just digits. The order of the numbers described in words are intentionally placed in a different order than their base-ten counterparts so that students need to think carefully about the value of the numbers. Some students might need to write the equivalent numeral as an intermediate step to solving the problem.
