Which Number Is Bigger?

Aligned to K.CC.C.7 — Common Core State Standards for Mathematics.

What this lesson teaches

When we see two written numbers, we can tell which one is bigger and which one is smaller.

Worked example

Look at 7 and 3. The number 7 is bigger than 3 because 7 comes later when we count.

Practice questions

  1. Which is bigger: 5 or 8?
  2. Which number is smaller: 2 or 9?
  3. Point to the bigger number: 4 or 6.

Que numero es mayor?

Cuando vemos dos numeros escritos, podemos decir cual es mayor y cual es menor.

Ejemplo: Mira el 7 y el 3. El numero 7 es mayor que el 3 porque el 7 viene despues al contar.
