Comparing Values is a Grade 3 mathematics worksheet that helps students compare whole numbers through 100,000. The 10-item set includes nine multiple-choice questions and one multiple-select question using comparison symbols, phrases such as “is greater than,” standard form, expanded form, and word form. Students compare numbers such as 63,052 and 63,502, match 2,543 with its expanded form, and identify values greater than 3,450. This free printable worksheet gives students focused practice applying place-value reasoning rather than relying only on the number of digits. Students learn to compare digits from the greatest place value, recognize equivalent representations, and select all values that meet a comparison condition. It is suitable for Grade 3 classwork, independent practice, review, or assessment, and includes a complete answer key for efficient checking.

This Grade 3 worksheet builds skill in comparing whole numbers by using <, >, and =, as well as the phrases “is greater than,” “is less than,” and “is equal to.” Its nine multiple-choice items and one multiple-select item require students to compare standard, expanded, and word forms and identify both values greater than 3,450.
Begin by modeling how to rewrite an expanded or word-form number in standard form, then compare digits from the greatest place value to the least. Use the worksheet’s examples, such as 63,052 versus 63,502, to discuss why the first differing digit determines the comparison before students complete the symbol, phrase, and multiple-select items independently.
Students may compare the final digits first instead of starting with the greatest place value, or mistake an expanded expression such as 2,000 + 500 + 40 + 3 for a different number. Also check that they distinguish 3,045 from numbers greater than 3,450 and select both correct choices in the final multiple-select question rather than stopping after one.
