Understanding Comparisons and Ordering

The video tutorial covers comparing numbers in different contexts. It starts with comparing the attendance of two baseball games, using place value to determine which game had more fans. Next, it orders animals by weight, emphasizing the importance of place value in comparison. Finally, it involves estimating the elevation of a mountain based on given data, reinforcing the concept of comparing numbers using place value.

Which baseball team had more fans at their game?

• Neither team had fans

• Stanleyville Sliders

• Benson Bats

• Both had the same number of fans

What is the first step in comparing two numbers?

• Compare the tens place

• Compare the smallest place value

• Compare the largest place value

• Compare the ones place

In the example of fan attendance, which place value determined the larger number?

• Thousands place

• Ones place

• Tens place

• Hundreds place

Which animal is the lightest based on the given weights?

• Elephant

• Giraffe

• Crocodile

• Polar Bear

What is the key factor in determining the lightest animal?

• Number of thousands

• Number of ones

• Number of hundreds

• Number of tens

Between the polar bear and the crocodile, which is heavier?

• Cannot be determined

• They weigh the same

• Crocodile

• Polar Bear

What is the determining factor for the heavier animal between the polar bear and the crocodile?

• Number of tens

• Number of thousands

• Number of hundreds

• Number of ones

What is a possible elevation for University Peak?

• 14,400

• 14,500

• 14,429

• 14,419

What is the range of possible elevations for University Peak?

• 14,400 to 14,420

• 14,300 to 14,400

• 14,421 to 14,499

• 14,500 to 14,600

Why is 14,429 a valid guess for University Peak's elevation?

• It is shorter than Mount Massive

• It is taller than Mount Massive but shorter than Mount Alverstone

• It is taller than Mount Alverstone

• It is the same height as Mount Alverstone
