1.2 Comparing
and Ordering
The only way to learn mathematics is
to do mathematics. – Paul Halmos
Objective
s
• Compare numbers by looking at the value of
each digit turn.
• Use the symbols of less than and greater than
when comparing two numbers.
• Order numbers from smallest to greatest and
from greatest to smallest.
Comparing and ordering numbers
Key words:
*ordering numbers: is putting
numbers in specific order; either
from the least to the greatest or
the greatest to the least
Example:
-> 1, 3, 7, 9, 11 is listed from the
least to the greatest.
-> 11, 9, 7, 3, 1 is listed from the
greatest to the least.

Remember in comparing in 2-digit numbers:
first -> compare tens, a number with more tens is greater than a number
with a fewer tens.
T U
6 tens is more
6 3 than 3 units, so
63 is greater
7 3 than 36, and
36 is less than
63.
Remember in comparing in 3-digit numbers:
first -> compare hundreds, a number with more hundreds is greater
than a number with a fewer hundreds.
8 hundreds is more
than 7 hundreds, so
872 is greater than
782, and 782 is less
than 872.
What if …
both numbers have the
same number of
hundreds ?
01
Remember in comparing if both numbers have
the same number of hundreds, so we must
compare tens, and if they are the same in
hundreds and tens , then we compare units.
8 tens is more than 7
tens, so 782is greater
than 772, and 772is
less than 782.
Note:
represents equivalence, whatever
written is written each side of the equals sign has the
same value.
Example:
20+2 24-2
22 22
643 458 458
