Let’s get the idea.

Here’s how it works

Compare the largest place first. Only move right if the digits match.

What we’re exploring

how to tell which number is bigger
what the < and > signs mean
putting a jumbled list in order

Increasing order means smallest first.

LET’S WORK ONE OUT TOGETHER

A little example

Put 408, 480 and 418 in increasing order.

1
All three have 4 hundreds.
2
Compare the tens: 0, 8 and 1.
3
So 408 < 418 < 480.

Make a little room for your workings.

NOW IT’S YOUR TURN

Have a little go.

Four questions. Plenty of thinking space.

When should we tell you if your answers are right?

After each answerShow me if I’m right or wrong as soon as I submit.After I finish all questionsKeep my results hidden until I finish all 4 questions.

You can’t change an answer or its photos after you submit it. You also can’t change when you see your results once you start.
