Comparing numbers worksheets

About this worksheet

Two numbers stand side by side with an empty box between them. The child writes > (greater than), < (less than) or = (equal to). Many pairs are made close to each other on purpose, like 4,318 and 4,381, because those are the ones that need real attention to place value.

Tips for parents and teachers

• The open side of the sign faces the bigger number. Many teachers call it the mouth that eats the bigger number.
• For big numbers, compare from the left: first the number of digits, then the leftmost digit, then the next.
• Read the finished line aloud: "four hundred twelve is less than four hundred twenty-one".
