How to help with this skill

Second graders connect place value to addition, subtraction and familiar everyday situations. Encourage grouping into tens and ones.

  • Line numbers up by place value if needed.
  • Compare the largest positions first, then move right.
  • Choose the correct symbol: <, >, or =.

Try this: Use two groups of objects and say which group has more.
