How the lesson starts: Who's Bigger?

Rex and Tops' pebbles
Hi friend! Meet two dinosaur pals, Rex and Tops. They love shiny pebbles. Rex has 45 pebbles. Tops has 54 pebbles. Who has more? Let's find out!
Tens come first
Here is 45: four tens and five ones. Here is 54: five tens and four ones. Look at the tens first. Five tens beat four tens. So 54 is bigger!
Which one is smaller?
Sometimes we want the smaller number. Read the question! Which is smaller, 72 or 27? Look at the tens. 7 tens and 2 tens. 2 tens is less. So 27 is smaller!
