Max Maths, Year 3, Learn together, Comparing and ordering numbers up to 1000 (3)

In a Year 3 mathematics lesson from Max Maths, students are learning to compare and order numbers up to 1000. The session begins with an exercise where children are asked to arrange a set of numbers in ascending order, from the smallest to the greatest. This activity helps to develop their understanding of numerical value and place value within three-digit numbers. The specific numbers to be arranged are not provided in the text, but the exercise would typically involve a set of numbers that the students need to analyze and sequence correctly.

The practice continues with a series of tasks designed to further reinforce the concept of comparing numbers. In the first task, students are presented with pairs of numbers and must identify the greater number by ticking it. For example, they compare 385 with 485, and 46 with 102, among others. The next activity requires students to write 's' next to the smallest number and 'g' next to the greatest number in a given set. This could involve sets such as 190, 962, and 721 or 650, 750, and 649. Additional exercises provide sequences of numbers where students must use inequality signs to indicate the progression from the smallest to the greatest number. To consolidate their learning, students are directed to workbook pages 21 to 22 for further practice.
