Lesson 2: Numbers - 2

For Grade 5 Students (Ages 10-11) - Let's compare, order, and round numbers!

In this lesson, you will learn to:

We use symbols to compare numbers:

Example: 5432 > 1234

Exercise 1: Fill in the blank with >, <, or =.

3456 3465

12890 12809

78005 78005

9999 10000

Activity 1: Compare the Numbers!

Fill in the blank with >, <, or =.

We can order numbers from smallest to largest (ascending order) or largest to smallest (descending order).

Example: Order 500, 120, 800, 350 in ascending order: 120, 350, 500, 800

Exercise 2: Order the following numbers as requested.

Order 4567, 4765, 4675, 4576 in ascending order:

Order 89123, 89321, 89213, 89132 in descending order:

Rounding helps us estimate numbers.

**To the nearest 10:** Look at the units digit. If it's 5 or more, round up. If it's less than 5, round down.
**To the nearest 100:** Look at the tens digit. If it's 50 or more, round up. If it's less than 50, round down.
**To the nearest 1,000:** Look at the hundreds digit. If it's 500 or more, round up. If it's less than 500, round down.

Example: Round 347 to the nearest 10: 350

Exercise 3: Round the numbers as requested.

Round 567 to the nearest 10:

Round 1234 to the nearest 100:

Round 7890 to the nearest 1000:

Round 23456 to the nearest 1000:
