Description
Using Is the Number Greater Lesser or Equal Worksheet, students compare two two-digit numbers and record the result with the greater than, less than, and equal to symbols. Comparing numbers is one of the first place-value skills first graders master, and it is the foundation for ordering, rounding, and estimating later on. This first grade comparing numbers worksheet keeps the practice concrete by giving children a printed symbol key they can look back at while they work.
The page opens with a symbol reference strip that names each sign in plain words. Students then look at eight pairs of two-digit numbers and write the correct symbol in the box between them. Two short story problems finish the page and ask children to decide who read more and who found fewer, so the skill moves from symbols to real situations. Use it as morning work, as independent practice after a comparing-numbers lesson, or as a quick check before an assessment.
What’s Included
- One printable worksheet page with a greater than, less than, and equal to reference strip
- Eight compare-the-numbers problems using two-digit numbers
- Two comparing-numbers story problems with writing lines
- A complete answer key
This Is the Number Greater Lesser or Equal Worksheet helps children in three ways. First, the symbol strip removes the guesswork so students can focus on the comparison instead of the notation. Second, the two-digit pairs push children to compare the tens place first and only then the ones. Third, the story problems ask students to say the comparison in words, which is exactly how comparing shows up on most first grade assessments.
Teachers and parents can extend the page easily. Read each pair aloud as a full sentence, have students build both numbers with base-ten blocks before writing the symbol, or ask children to write their own pair for a partner to compare. Turn the story problems into a class discussion by asking students to explain how they knew which number was larger.
