Compare and Order Numbers to at least 1,000,000 6 - Reasoning

The task involves comparing and ordering numbers within sequences of six-digit numbers. Specifically, students are presented with two separate descending sequences and are asked to focus on the numbers that would occupy the shaded fields within these sequences. The sequences are as follows: the first starts with 526,390 and descends to 525,390, while the second begins with 521,970 and steps down to 521,870. The objective is to determine the relative positions of the numbers in the shaded fields by comparing them directly.

Upon reviewing the sequences provided, the numbers in the shaded fields are identified as 524,390 from the first sequence and 523,390 from the second sequence. Additionally, there are numbers 522,170 and 522,070 that also appear to be part of the sequences. Students are expected to compare these pairs of numbers to understand their order in relation to each other. Through this exercise, students enhance their understanding of number value and place value, as they practise ordering numbers up to at least 1,000,000 and develop their reasoning skills in number comparison.
