Grade 2 Bridge: Compare Three-Digit Numbers

How the lesson starts: Grade 2 Bridge: Compare Three-Digit Numbers

1. Who has more acorns?

   Hi friend! Meet Nutty and Hazel, two squirrels. Nutty has 482 acorns. Hazel has 428 acorns. Who has more? Let's find out!

2. Hundreds go first

   The mouth opens to the bigger number. Look at the hundreds first. 531 > 298, since 5 hundreds beat 2. A tie? Check the tens. All the same? Use =.

3. Compare 736 and 762

   Hundreds: 7 and 7. A tie. Tens: 3 and 6. 3 tens is less. So 736 < 762. Watch out! Big digits can trick you. 299 has two 9s, but 299 < 301. Hundreds win!
