Comparing Numbers 2.NBT.4 – And a Freebie!

Anchor Charts, Math, TPT February 6, 2014

I’ve been meaning to post about this standard and post this freebie for a few weeks, but life got in the way. So, better late than never…

A few weeks ago we worked on comparing 3 digit numbers – specifically standard 2.NBT.4. The kiddos did really well with this standard so we only needed a quick few days of practice and they were good to go. Below are some ideas and pictures from our work…

Here’s our anchor chart we created with vocab, symbols, and a few examples. I love creating these math anchor charts and adding to them throughout the lessons. I find the kids referencing them at later times and love that they are referring to them and using them!

We then practiced on white boards. We started with 2 digit numbers and then moved onto 3 digit numbers.

I found a ton of great activities from Sunny Days Common Core Essentials Packet – that can be found here. My kiddos loved playing the Compare and Capture game.

And, here’s a little game I created for students to also practice comparing 3 digit numbers. This game can be found as a freebie in my TPT store…here.
Here are a few pictures from the kids playing…
