1. Comparing Numbers Greater > Less < Equal =

2. Greater? Less? Equal? First we need to know the words. ZGreater means bigger. ZLess means smaller. ZEqual means the same.

3. Choose The Greatest Tensones 5 Tensones 35 or Tensones 79 Tensones 9 or

4. Choose the Least Tensones 73 Tensones 4 or Tensones 9 Tensones 26 or

5. Greater, Less, and Equal Z The Less symbol is <. Z The Greater symbol is >. Z They are pointers. Z They point to the small number. Z They eat the large number. Z The Equal symbol is =. (same)

6. Let’s Try One Digit Numbers Point the arrow at the smaller number. 5 9 Eat the larger number. 8 2 These numbers are the same. 5 < > =

7. Let’s Try Two Digit Numbers Point the arrow at the smaller number. 54 79 Eat the larger number. 84 12 These numbers are the same. 35 < > =

8. Writing Numbers in Order Numbers are written from the left to the right. 22 23 24 25 26 These numbers are written from least to greatest. These numbers are also written from left to right. 88 87 86 85 84 They are written from greatest to least.

9. Before, After, Between… The number before 39 is 38 39 40 The number after 39 is 38 39 40 What is this number? 15 ? 17 18 The number between 38 and 40 is 38 39 40 16

10. Let’s Try Harder Ones 10 1214? 1. Notice that the numbers are growing by 2. 10 13 ? 19 2. Let’s try another one, growing by 3. Fill in the blank number. 16

11. More Practice… 2122?24 Fill in the missing numbers. Look at tens, then look at ones. 27?2930 ?446688 23 28 43

12. More Practice… Put a to compare the numbers. Look at tens, then look at ones. 73 7126 92 27 2794 43 66 6965 65

13. Let’s Review Ordering Numbers Z Know the words. Z > Greater means bigger. Z < Less means smaller. Z Compare tens, then ones. Z Write from left to right.  Use to compare.
