Place Value - Compare and Order (2) - Worksheet

The "Compare and Order" worksheets from masterthecurriculum.co.uk are designed to enhance students' understanding of place value up to 10,000,000 and to strengthen their ability to determine the value of each digit in a number. These resources, including differentiated worksheets and teaching slides, are part of a lesson series that challenges children to compare whole numbers represented in various formats. The activities include a number maze where children must enter numbers correctly to maintain the ascending order, thereby practising fluency and precision in number placement.

The worksheets cater to different levels of proficiency: 'Working Towards', 'Working Within', and 'Greater Depth'. Each level presents numbers in increasingly complex ways, requiring students to engage in reasoning and problem-solving. Key questions prompt learners to think about the value of individual digits and to deduce information about covered or missing numbers. For example, they might be asked to fill in the blanks in a sequence such as 368,757 to 1,000,000, ensuring that the numbers are in the correct order. The exercises not only reinforce the concept of place value but also help students to compare and order large numbers with precision.
