Envision Math 3rd Grade Textbook Answer Key Topic 1.4 Comparing Numbers

Comparing Numbers

How do you compare numbers?
Answer:
When you compare two numbers you find out which number is greater and which number is less.

Question.
Which is taller, the Statue of Liberty or its base?

Answer:

Another Example

How can you use place value to compare numbers?
Answer:
Compare 3,456 and 3,482 using a place-value chart.
Line up the digits by place value.
Compare the digits starting from the left.

So 3,456 is less than 3,482.
3,456 < 3,482

Explain It

Question 1.
In this example, why don’t you need to compare the digits in the ones place?
Answer:

Question 2.
Why can’t you tell which number is greater by just comparing the first digit in each number?
Answer:

You can use symbols.

You can compare 151 and 154 with place value.
154 is greater than 151.

The place-value blocks also show that 151 is less than 154.
151 < 154
So, the base is taller than the statue.
