Comparing Four-Digit Numbers

The video tutorial teaches children how to compare four-digit numbers using Buzzy the B. It explains the process of comparing numbers by examining the thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones places. Two examples are provided: comparing 3672 with 3843 and 2318 with 2314. The tutorial emphasizes that the open side of the comparison sign points to the greater number, while the closed side points to the smaller number.

• Tens place

What is the correct comparison sign for 3672 and 3843?

• 3672 = 3843

• 3672 > 3843

• 3672 < 3843

• 3672 >= 3843

In the second example, which place value was finally used to determine the larger number between 2318 and 2314?

• Ones place

• Hundreds place

Which number is greater: 2318 or 2314?

• Cannot be determined

• 2314

What should you do if all digits in the thousands, hundreds, and tens places are the same?

• Compare the ones place

• Declare the numbers equal

• Start over

• Compare the tens place again

What is the importance of the open side of the comparison sign?

• It points to the smaller number

• It points to the larger number
