  • Compare two three-digit numbers by examining hundreds first, then tens, then ones
  • Use >, =, and < correctly to record comparisons of three-digit numbers
  • Order a set of numbers up to 1000 from smallest to largest

Assessment prompt

If you give Ordering Numbers to 1000 a set of three-digit numbers like 456, 231, and 789, can they put them in order and use > and < correctly?
