Place value in action
Comparing two-digit numbers is really a place value question: which has more tens? Pair this page with place value worksheets.In the MATATAG curriculum
- KinderComparing amounts by one-to-one matching to tell which set has more, less or the same.
- Grade 1Comparing and ordering numbers up to 20, then ordering numbers up to 100.
- Grade 2Ordering numbers up to 1000 using place value in three-digit numbers.
- Grade 3Comparing numbers up to 10,000 with the symbols =, > and <, and ordering them.
Young children can compare in words before they write the symbols. In Filipino that is mas marami (more) and mas kaunti (fewer) for groups of things, and mas malaki (greater) and mas maliit (smaller) for numbers.
The to-10 and to-20 sheets suit Kinder and the first quarter of Grade 1, the to-100 sheets the rest of Grade 1, and the to-1000 sheets Grade 2.
