These worksheets teach your beginning students how to use place value to compare two numbers.

When comparing integers to the thousands place we also suggest you start to the left of the number and compare each digit as you travel to the right. The value with the largest number, as you move right, will always be the larger number. In many cases you will work with these types of values at your daily job. We often spend a good amount of time comparing values, just so we can sort them for other purposes.

Knowing the importance of place value while comparing numbers is necessary. The Common Core Standards remind us the following. Note down the answer of comparison with the symbols that are >, =, and <. You will need to compare two two-digit numbers based on ones and tens digit meanings. Also, note the answers of comparison by using the symbols >, =, <. We compare two three-digit numbers depend upon the ones and tens digit meanings. We use the symbols >, =, < to compare two multi-digit numbers based on meanings of the digits in particular place and to note the answers of comparisons. We consider the tens place for comparing 2-digit numbers. For example, 3227 in which 3 tens are greater than 2 tens. The number will be greater when tens are greater for one number. You need to explain the smallest number with 3 tens can be 30. Then, the biggest number with 2 tens will be 29. You can describe all this by showing number line to the learners. Now, compare 62 and 38. 6 tens are more than 3 tens so 62 is greater than 38. These worksheets explain how to use place values in order to compare two numbers and determine which is greater. Your students will use these activity sheets to learn how to use place values (hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, etc.) in order to compare two numbers and determine which is greater.

Comparing Integers to the Thousands Lesson

Check if one number contains bigger place value unit. If the numbers have the same amount of digits, then you need to compare the digits in the different space. Compare the digits starting from the biggest denomination.

Lesson and Practice

Step 1) Check if one number contains bigger place value units. 561,345 has a hundred-thousands. So 561,345 is the biggest number. Step 2) Next we compare numbers left with place value units one less than the biggest number, that is ten thousands. Here, 56,234 and 65,234 have same number of digits but at ten thousand 6 > 5. So, 65,234 is the next biggest number.
