Twenty pairs of numbers up to 1000. Many pairs share the hundreds digit, such as 737 and 736, so children compare hundreds, then tens, then ones, in that order. Reading each pair aloud (“seven hundred thirty-seven is greater than seven hundred thirty-six”) helps too. Answers on page 2.

Comparing numbers games

- Make the > and < symbol from two craft sticks and hold it between two piles of blocks.
- Say every answer out loud from left to right: “twelve is less than twenty-one”.
More number sense: the 0–20 number line, the 1–100 number chart and ten frames. Every sheet in this set is on the more than, less than worksheets page.
