Max Maths, Year 4, Work Book, Comparing and ordering numbers up to 10000

The 'Max Maths' workbook for Year 4 students includes a section dedicated to comparing and ordering numbers up to 10,000. Practice 3 in the workbook provides a series of exercises that help children understand how to identify and arrange numbers based on their value. The first task involves writing numbers represented by blocks, and then ticking the smaller number among pairs. This visual representation helps students grasp the concept of magnitude in a tangible way. Subsequent exercises require students to circle the greater number in each pair and the greatest number in a group, further reinforcing their ability to compare numerical values.

Moving beyond comparison, the workbook also challenges students to arrange sets of numbers from the greatest to the smallest and vice versa. These activities not only solidify their understanding of numerical order but also allow them to practice important mathematical symbols such as 'greater than' (>) and 'less than' (<). Additionally, there are tasks where students need to identify a number that is a specific amount more or less than a given number, such as 1 more, 10 more, 100 less, 500 more, or 1,000 less. These exercises enhance their skills in basic arithmetic operations and understanding of place value. The section concludes with problem-solving activities where students create and order three-digit numbers from digits provided, further applying their knowledge in a practical context.
