Students learn about comparing the size of numbers using the place value table.
Less able students can access a place value table and number line. More able students are taught to consider the upper and lower bounds for a range of decimals.
Differentiated Learning Objectives
- All students should be able to use < and > to compare the magnitude of integers from the place value table.
- Most students should be able to use inequality symbols to compare the magnitude of any positive number.
- Some students should be able to determine the upper and lower bounds for a range of numbers.
