Learn the idea

A digit’s place changes its value. Compare hundreds first, then tens, then ones. A zero can hold an empty place.

Worked example

406 = 400 + 0 + 6. It is greater than 396 because 4 hundreds is more than 3 hundreds.

  1. Point to the hundreds, tens and ones.
  2. When the hundreds match, compare the tens next.
