 Comparing numbers to 999
Which is the greater number, 258 or 285?
When you need to compare numbers, look carefully at the digits.

• 258 is 200 + 50 + 8 • 285 is 200 + 80 + 5

• Compare the hundreds, then the tens and then the units.
• 80 is greater than 50, so 285 is greater than 258.

1 Write the smaller number in each pair.
