Comparing Numbers up to 1000

I. Learning Objectives
At the of the lesson, the pupils are expected to:

 To compare numbers up to 1000, greater than, less than, equal to, digits, left most digit.
 To identify numbers up to 1000.
 SEL Integration: Cognitive Regulation (Goal Setting), Social Skills and Relationships.

A. Prepatory Activities

A. Prayer

Okay class, before we proceed to our

lesson for today, let’s pray first. Kindly
stand up and bow your head.

Father God, we humbly we ask today. Fill

our hearts with joy. Fill our hearts with
learning. Fill our classroom with peace. Fill
our lesson with fun. Fill our friendship with
kindness. Fill our school with love. Amen.

B. Greetings

Oh right, Good afternoon, everyone. Say: Good afternoon, Ma’am.

You may now take your seat.

C. Checking of Attendance

Who are absent for today?

 D. Review

Have the learners bring out their show-

me boards. Tell them that you will show a
pair of numbers. They have to write on
their show-me boards the greater number.

Examples: SAY:

1. 1. 25

2. 2. 227

3. 3. 46

Dire the learner’s attention to each pair of

numbers…
Say: We compared the number of digits. Since
Say: How do we know that 25 is greater that 5? 25 has more digits. Since 25 has more digits
than 5, then 25 is greater.

Say: They have the same number of digits, so

Say: How do we know that 227 is greater than we looked at their leftmost digits. The leftmost
127? digit of 227 which is 2, is less than that of 127,
which is 1. So, 227 is greater that 127.

Say: Yes, we can. The numbers are both 2- digit

numbers, so we look at their leftmost digits. The
Say: Can we apply this idea for the numbers 46 leftmost digit of 46, which is 4, is larger that
and 34? Why? that of 34, which is 3. So, 46 is greater than 34.
 E. DISCUSSIONS

Say: To compare, digits, greater than, less than,

equal to, leftmost digit, middle/second digit,
rightmost digit. In our previous lesson we
compared numbers with the same number of
digits but with different leftmost digits. This time
you will compare numbers of digits and same
leftmost digits.

“Post the following number cards on the board.

43 72 86
5 9

Say: Choose two 2-digit number cards with the

same leftmost digits and post them in a column
on the board. Let him/her compare the numbers
written on the cards and explain the relationship Say:
between them.

Say: Yes, Maam.

Say: Ok. Verygood. Is 86 is greater that 84?

Why?

Say: Ok 86 is greater than 84 because of the

possible reasons.
1) 86 is one more than 85 while 84 is one
less than 85. Say: Yes
2) If we considerbthe order of numbers from
80 to 90, 86 is to right of 84.

We say that 86 is greater than 84. Can we also

say that 84 is less than 86?

Write these relationships below the cards.

86 is greater than 84.
84 is less than 86.

Say: Choose two 3-digit number cards with the

same leftmost digits but different middle digits
and post them below the first pair of numbers.
Let him/her compare the numbers on the cards
and explain his/her answer.

Say: Yes, 418 is less than 435.

Example 2:
418 is less than 435.

Ask the following questions:

Is 418 less than 435? Why?

Possible reasons:
1).-435 is more than 420 while 418 is less than Say: Yes
420.

2) If we consider the arrangement of numbers

from 415 to 435, 418 is to be left of 435.

We say that 418 is less than 435. Can we also

say that that 435 is greater than 418?

Write these relationships below the cards.

Have a learner get the last pair of number cards

and post them below the two pairs of numbers.
Let him/her compare the numbers on the cards
and explain his/her answer.

Example 3:

Write these relationships below the cards.

Have a learner get the last pair of number cards
and post them below the two pairs of numbers.
Let him/her compare the numbers on the cards
and explain his/her answer.

Ask the following

questions:
Is 729 greater than 721?
Why? Yes,
729 is greater than 721.
Possible reasons:
1) 729 is greater than 725 while 721 is less than
725.
2) If we consider the arrangement
of numbers from 720 to 730, 729 is to right of
721.

We say that 729 is greater than 721. Can we also

say that 721 is less than 729? Yes.

Write these relationships below the cards.

Say: Yes, 418 is less than 435..

Direct learners’ attention to the three pairs of Say: They are the same.
numbers.
86 and 84
418 and 435
729 and 721 Say: They are the same.

What can you say about the number of digits in

each pair of numbers? Say: They are the same.
What can you say about the left digits in the 1st
pair of numbers?

Say: They are the diiferent.

What can you say about the leftmost digits in
the 2nd and 3rd pairs of numbers?
Say: They are the same
What can you say about the right digits in the
1st pair of numbers?
Say They are different.

What can you say about the middle digits in the

2nd pair of numbers? Say: The 2-digit number with a larger right digit
is greater.
What can you say about the middle digits in the
3rd pairs of numbers?

How about their rightmost digits?

Say: The 3-digit number with a larger middle

the same left digits but different right digits,
which
one is greater?

Encircle the number 86.

(Point to pair 2: 418 and 435) Say: The 3-digit number with a

the same leftmost digits but different middle
digits, which one is greater?
Encircle the number 435.

(Point to pair 3: 729 and 721) When comparing

the two 3-digit numbers with the same leftmost
and middle digits but different rightmost digits,
which one is greater? Encircle the number 729.

F. GENERALIZATION

How do we compare numbers with the

same leftmost digits?
For 2-digit numbers
If the left digits are the same, compare
 the right digits. The digit
with the larger value is the greater
number.

For 3-digit numbers

If the leftmost digits are the same,
compare the middle digits. The digit Say: 567
with the larger value is the
greater number. If the middle digits Say: 141 or 142
are still the same, compare
the rightmost digits. The digit with the
larger value is the greater number. Say: 647, 648, or649

G. APPLICATION

Challenge the learners by finding a

number satisfying the given
condition. Discuss the answer to each
item.
1) A number that is equal to 567.

2) A number that is greater than 140

and less than 143.

3) A number that is less than 650 and

greater than 646.

IV. EVALUATION

In each pair of numbers, encircle the greater

number.

1) 67 59
2) 99 841
3) 945 925
4) 476 479
5) 309 1000

V. ASSIGNMENT
In each pair of numbers, encircle the lesser
number.

1) 28 38
2) 6 676
3) 484 414
4) 923 929
5) 1000 997
