What is comparing numbers?
Comparing numbers means deciding which is larger or smaller using the symbols < (less than), > (greater than) and = (equal to).
How to teach it
Compare place-value columns from the left, biggest place first. Use the alligator/greater-than symbol pointing at the larger number.
Worked example
Common mistake
