Put 89 next to 90, and a six-year-old may say 89 is bigger, because 8 and 9 both look like large digits. The position of each digit is what counts. This 1st grade comparison symbols to 100 worksheet shows eight boxes. In each one, a pink question mark sits between two numbers, for example 73 and 83, or 91 and 91. Below, three circles hold the signs for less than, equal and greater than, and your child marks the one that fits. The order of the three signs changes from box to box, so your child has to read each symbol, not just its position. A second page gives the answer key.
