Mathematics
This free printable Mathematics worksheet gives Grade 1–3 students focused practice with two-digit place value and number relationships. Across 13 multiple-choice questions, students identify the number of tens and the value of a digit, compare numbers using <, >, and =, and arrange numbers from least to greatest. The items include both two-digit numbers and comparisons involving one-digit numbers, helping students apply place-value understanding to determine which number is larger or smaller. Use this worksheet for independent practice, a quick check for understanding, or review after teaching tens and ones. Students must distinguish a digit from its value—for example, recognizing that a digit in the tens place represents tens—then use that understanding to compare and sequence numbers. The worksheet is available as a free printable PDF and includes a complete answer key for efficient checking.

This worksheet uses 13 multiple-choice questions to practice identifying tens and the value of a digit in two-digit numbers, then applying that understanding to compare and order numbers. Students select comparison symbols or words such as less than, greater than, and equal to, and arrange sets of numbers from least to greatest. These tasks connect place-value knowledge with judging number size.
Begin by reviewing how the tens and ones positions affect the value of a digit, then model one item such as finding the value of a digit in 47. Have students explain which number is greater in the comparison items before choosing <, >, or =, and finish with the least-to-greatest ordering questions. Ask students to justify their choices by referring to the tens first and then the ones when needed.
Watch for students confusing a digit with its place value, such as choosing 4 instead of 40 for the 4 in 47 or 70 instead of 3 for the 3 in 73. In the comparison items, students may reverse < and > or overlook that identical numbers are equal. In the ordering items, they may arrange numbers by the order shown or misplace one-digit numbers such as 8 and 9 among two-digit numbers.
You can assign this worksheet as a printable PDF or as a digital quiz on Wayground. It includes a complete answer key, and printable submissions can be graded by scanning student work with the Wayground for Teachers app. The printable format also offers an option for schools that are reducing screen time while students practice place value, comparison, and ordering.
The worksheet moves from identifying digit values to comparing two-digit numbers with <, >, and =, including equal numbers and comparisons between one- and two-digit numbers. Students also order four-number sets from least to greatest, including sets with consecutive or closely related values such as 34, 43, and 77. This lets teachers check whether students can use place-value understanding to sequence numbers, not just name a digit's value.
