Order and
Comparison

To compare numbers with the same number of

digits, you must look at the numbers from left to right,
which occupy the same position.

YO. Indicates whether the numbers are greater than or less

than (> , <)
to) 975 ____ __ 899 f) 4,010 _____ 4.001

____
b) 756 ____ __ 965 g) 2,222 __
2.232

c) 1.894 ___ _____ 889 h) 628 ______ 682

an j) 9,903
d) 1.234 ___ ___ 1.264 ___ ___ 9.709

II. Order the following quantities, as indicated.

to From highest to lowest 899 – 3,899 – 1,899 –

) 2,899 =

b) From lowest to highest 1,245 – 245 – 2,245 –

45 =

c) Of less greatest 4,455 – 4,452 – 4,449 = <

than

d) Of greater minor 1,389 – 3,389 – 389 – 2,389 = > > >

To place numbers on the number line, they must be compared, ordered

from least to greatest, and placed in the corresponding place on the
number line. The numbers located on the left are smaller than those
located on the right.

III. Look at the number line and follow the instructions:

a) At which end of the line is the largest number? Circle it with blue.
b) What is the smallest number represented on the number line? Circle it with red.
c) Circle two numbers greater than 3,550 in green.
d) Circle the number less than 3,550 in pink.

IV. Locate each group of numbers on the number line

Closing of activity:

What should be observed when comparing two numbers?

Order the following numbers from least to greatest.

1.345 1.145 1.545
