Comparing four-digit numbers
Which is more, 8,011 or 7,987? Place those numbers (approximately) on the number line. Which is more, 2,395 or 2,402? Place those numbers (approximately) on the number line. Compare first how many THOUSANDS the numbers have. |

k. 9,056 9,834 9,275 |
l. 6,309 9,603 3,609 |
2. Write < or > between the numbers.
a. 1,050 < 5,095 2,400 2,750 6,005 4,500 |
