Problem: Write the inequality (<,>,=) to compare each number. • Step 1: Look and see which number has more digits. 4 4 5,436 _ 5,473 =
Problem: Write the inequality (<,>,=) to compare each number. • Step 2: If a number has more digits it is automatically bigger. 5,436 _ 5,473 =
Problem: Write the inequality (<,>,=) to compare each number. • Step 3: If they have the same amount of digits, compare the largest place value. 5,436 _ 5,473 =
Problem: Write the inequality (<,>,=) to compare each number. • Step 3: If one is bigger, than the whole number is automatically bigger. 5,436 _ 5,473 =
Problem: Write the inequality (<,>,=) to compare each number. • Step 4: If they are the same, move to the right of each number until you find a place value that is greater. 5,436 _ 5,473 =
Problem: Write the inequality (<,>,=) to compare each number. • Step 5: Once you find a place value that is greater, it makes the whole number greater. 5,436 _ 5,473 =
Problem: Write the inequality (<,>,=) to compare each number. • Step 6: write your inequality so it “eats” the bigger number. < 5,436 _ 5,473 =
Problem: Write the inequality (<,>,=) to compare each number. 5,436 < 5,473 =
