Comparing Numbers Quiz

Comparing whole numbers builds on place value: the number with more digits is automatically bigger; if they have the same number of digits, compare from the leftmost place. This quiz uses two- and three-digit numbers so your first, second, or third grader gets the chance to apply both rules. The greater-than and less-than symbols trip up young kids constantly — the trick is that the symbol always 'eats' the bigger number (the open mouth points at the larger value).
