Sales Problem Solving Strategies

In this video, Shay Jackson from Hype Math teaches third graders how to compare whole numbers. The lesson involves two problems: creating the smallest number from a set of digits and identifying the month with the least sales. Students learn to eliminate incorrect choices and compare digits to find the correct answer. The video emphasizes strategies for solving multiple-choice questions effectively.
