4TH GRADE MATH - COMPARING NUMBERS TO HUNDRED MILLIONS
Comparing Numbers up to Hundred Millions
This post is to learn how to compare two numbers. There are very basic rules to compare two numbers. I use the following criterion to compare two numbers;
First of all I see if the given numbers have the different number of digits. If Yes, then the number with MORE digits is GREATER. For example; 100 000 is greater than 99 999 because 100 000 got 6 digits and 99 999 got only 5 digits.
If both the numbers got same number of digits then we should write these numbers into the place value chart and start to compare digits from Far Left towards right. The number whose first digit is greater becomes the Greater number. This is explained in the following activities.
Note: How to pick the direction of the the symbol;
1. Larger Number POINTS AT the Smaller Number (Idea suggested by @dkmathstats)
2. The BEAK opening towards the Larger Number.
BEAK?
That's a nice one!!Beak opening towards larger number and tip of hair towards smaller!!
Alternatively, the larger number points at the smaller number. For example, 10 > 7.
Absolutely right my dear friend @dkmathstats. This idea is new to me and I have included it in the post. Thanks a lot for the info.
This is awesome sir thanks a lot for sharing this will helpful to kids down the line in future may this will be helpful to my kids too.
Yes, this is really very satisfying when thinking of my work helping the future generations!! Thanks a lot for your support!!
Again a very interesting post by counting no. of digits to get the bigger one @mathworksheets. Thanks for sharing.
You are always welcome @gautam!!
Great work dear brother. thanks for sharing
You are welcome dear brother!
Simplistic demonstration for kids. My Nephew is reading this.
Thanks for commenting @srkattel, I wish good luck to your nephew in his studies :))
