How to help with this skill

Third graders begin to use multiplication, division, fractions and measurement regularly. Discuss which operation fits the question.

  • 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.
