Order by the biggest place first
Putting numbers in order is comparing, just with more than two numbers. The key is to start with the highest place — hundreds first, then tens, then ones. Lining the numbers up by place makes it easy to see which is least and which is greatest.
How to use it
Have students compare the highest place value first and only move right when those digits match. Watch for students ordering by the ones digit. Builds on comparing 3-digit numbers.
👩🏫 Teacher note
Compare the highest place first (hundreds, then tens, then ones). Lining the numbers up by place makes ordering much easier.
🏠 Parent note
Look at the biggest place first. The smallest number goes first (least), the biggest last (greatest).
Common Mistakes to Watch For
- Ordering by the ones digit instead of the highest place
- Reversing least and greatest
Answer Key
Each answer lists the numbers in order from least to greatest.
