Comparing Numbers and Digits

This tutorial teaches how to compare numbers up to 1000 using a number grid. It explains the symbols for less than, equal to, and greater than, and provides two examples: comparing 873 with 857 and 685 with 649. The process involves labeling digits as units, tens, and hundreds, and comparing from the leftmost digit. If digits are the same, the next digits are compared using a number grid to determine which number is smaller. The tutorial emphasizes the simplicity of comparing numbers using this method.

What is the main focus of this tutorial?

When using the number grid, which number is smaller: 73 or 57?

• Both are equal

• 57

• Cannot be determined

• 73

What is the purpose of using a number grid in this tutorial?

• To visually compare numbers

• To subtract numbers

• To add numbers

• To multiply numbers

Why do we ignore the hundreds digit in the first example after comparison?

• It is smaller

• It is larger

• It is not important

• It is the same

What is the conclusion of the first example?

• 873 is less than 857

• 873 is equal to 857

• 873 is greater than 857

• 857 is greater than 873

In the second example, what is the first step in comparing 685 and 649?

• Compare the tens digit

• Compare the units digit

• Compare the hundreds digit

• Use a calculator

What is the result of comparing the hundreds digit in both examples?

• One is less

• Different

• Same

• One is greater
