What this lesson shows
Fixes a mistake
6,909 > 6,099 says "is greater than". It compares; it does not compute.
The worked example
The lesson works this one step by step: 6,909 ○ 6,099. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.
The steps
- It compares, not computes
- Read left to right
- Check from the biggest place
- Turn it around: less than
Helping at home
Read the statement out loud, left to right: is greater than, is less than, or is equal to. Then check it from the biggest place down. Nothing gets added or taken away.
If your kid gets stuck
Read it out loud as a sentence.
