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.

Example 1

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

Example 2

Look at 4 and 9. The number 9 is bigger, because when you count you say 4 first and 9 much later.

Example 3

Look at 6 and 6. Neither one is bigger — they are the same number, so they are equal.

Every lesson comes with a video taught in English and Spanish — the same video the QR code in the printed workbook opens.

Cuando vemos dos números escritos, podemos decir cuál es mayor y cuál es menor.

Ejemplo 1: Mira el 7 y el 3. El número 7 es mayor que el 3 porque el 7 viene después al contar.

Ejemplo 2: Mira el 4 y el 9. El número 9 es mayor, porque al contar dices el 4 primero y el 9 mucho después.

Ejemplo 3: Mira el 6 y el 6. Ninguno es mayor — son el mismo número, así que son iguales.
