Comparing 5-Digit Numbers

Overview:

A worksheet designed for middle and upper years students to practise comparing 5-digit numbers using the greater than (>) and less than (<) symbols.

Learning Objectives:

• Compare 5-digit numbers.
• Use the greater than and less than symbols correctly.
• Understand place value and the significance of each digit in a 5-digit number.

How the Activity Works:

Students are presented with pairs of 5-digit numbers on the worksheet. They will compare each pair using the greater than (>) and less than (<) symbols, determining which number is larger or smaller based on place value. This activity encourages students to focus on the digits in each place value column, helping them develop a deeper understanding of 5-digit numbers and their relationships. By practising this skill, students will improve their ability to work with larger numbers and build fluency in comparison.
