Max Maths, Year 3, Work Book, Comparing and ordering numbers up to 1000

The Max Maths Year 3 Workbook provides engaging exercises for children to practice comparing and ordering numbers up to 1,000. In Practice 3, students are tasked with determining which of two items—a television priced at $529 and a bicycle at $399—is more costly. They are instructed to write the prices in a place-value chart to compare the hundreds, tens, and ones, thus determining which item is pricier. The exercise helps children understand the value of each digit based on its position and enhances their ability to compare numerical values effectively.

Further activities in the workbook involve comparing sets of numbers and identifying which set contains more hundreds, tens, or ones, and which represents the greater or smaller number. Children are encouraged to tick the correct sentences that describe the relationship between the numbers in each set. The workbook also includes exercises where students colour the greater number blue and the smaller number green, as well as tasks where they write phrases like 'is greater than' or 'is smaller than' to compare pairs of numbers. These exercises are designed to reinforce the concept of place value and number comparison, providing a solid foundation for mathematical understanding in young learners.
