Possible
Learning
Experiences
Comparing 3 digit numbers
TEACH the symbols-students were exposed to
these in 1st grade, but will need reteaching
Use base ten blocks and place value mats to
compare two 3-digit numbers. Have students
write the numbers, show the expanded form and
compare using the appropriate symbols. <, >, or
equal. Important to expose students to equal
digits!
Have students identify numbers greater than a
given number and discuss why it is greater.
(place-value snakes or dice could be used)
good small group activity
Use place-value snakes to play the game TOP IT.
Use cards to play the same game to change it
up.
Assessment
All fact strategies should have been assessed.
Resources
Assess multiple representations of 3 digit numbers
We will assess comparing numbers in week 5
Place-value snakes
Base ten blocks and place-value mats
On curriculum website there are several good
digital resources for these indicators.
