The ideas in this place value lesson are taken from the Place Value 3 ebook that I sell at MathMammoth.com. Only a few examples of each problem type are shown; you should make more problems of each kind for the student.


Which number is greater?
Free lesson plan from HomeschoolMath.net

Which is more, 8011 or 7987?  Place those numbers (approximately) on the number line.

 

Which is more, 2395 or 2402?  Place those numbers (approximately) on the number line.

Compare first how many THOUSANDS the numbers have.
Then if they have the same amount of thousands, compare the ___________________.
Then if they also have the same amount of hundreds, compare the ________________.
And if everything else is the same, then compare the ONES.

Remember, the open end or open mouth of the symbols < and > ALWAYS point to the bigger number.
