Comparing Numbers up to a Million

Dear all,

We started on the topic of comparing numbers up to a million. Recapping some important concepts for today's lesson:


  • When comparing numbers, always start from the left. 
  • Compare the numbers to find out which is greater or smaller. 
  • Highlight the two comparing digits on the left of each number.
  • 1458
  • 1548
  • The first digit on the left is the same so we move on to the next digit (place value) and since 5 is greater than 4, 1548 is the greater number. 
Some of the common mistakes as highlighted in the last worksheet:
  • When we are looking for 'the value of' and finding what a number 'stands for', it is essentially the same meaning. We are finding out the numeral. Do take note. They stand for the same meaning.
  • 40 in words is forty and not written as 'four tens'. Take note too.
Homework for today:

Pages 11 - 14 of the workbook.

Practice makes perfect.

Sincerely,
Mr Nelson Ong
