Comparing and Ordering Numbers: Less Than, Greater Than, Equal To

The video tutorial covers how to compare and order numbers using place value. It explains the process of comparing numbers by examining digits from the greatest place value to the least. The tutorial also introduces inequalities and demonstrates how to use a number line and place value charts for comparing multiple numbers. An example involving pumpkin sales is used to illustrate these concepts. The lesson concludes with a brief introduction to the next topic, rounding numbers.
