How do you compare numbers? Explain.
Use 23,450 and 23,211 to explain.
When comparing numbers you must look at the largest place value. In 23,450 and 23,211 the 2 in the ten thousands is the same so we more to the thousands place. The 3 in the thousands is the same so we move to the hundreds place. The 4 is greater than 2, therefore, 23,450 is greater than 23,211.
