Comparing Numbers

We have studied in previous class that:

• a 2-digit number is always bigger than a 1-digit number.

• to compare 2-digit numbers, compare the tens place first. If the tens place
is the same, compare the ones place.

Recall

1. Find the bigger and smaller numbers in each of these boxes. Write S for smaller
number and B for bigger number in the empty boxes.

(a) 15 18 (b) 71 8 (c) 67 39 (d) 99 9

2. Count the marbles and write their numbers in the boxes. Put < or > in the
circles.

(a) (b)

The number with more digits is always When the number of digits is the
