Comparing and ordering whole numbers - Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the 2016 Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom. 

You can play this game to practice 3.1c Comparing Numbers in a fun and interactive format. Students can battle each other to see who can answer the questions the quickest. Boys can play against girls or any groups can be made.

This is a remix of Comparing Numbers from Illustrative Mathematics, https://tasks.illustrativemathematics.org/content-standards/tasks/1102.The purpose of this game is for students to practice comparing 3-digit and 4-digit numbers, use the appropriate vocabulary, and symbol to support sol 3.1c.  Games are a great way to have students practice a skill and my students love to play them.  Students work with a partner to compare two numbers, discuss how they know if the first number is greater than, less than, or equal to the second number, and write the symbol. This game would be played after students are familiar with comparing numbers, the vocabulary, and symbols.

In this task students must place 4-digit numbers into order from smallest to greatest and greatest to smallest.

This is a remix of Ordering 4-Digit Numbers from Illustrative Mathematics, https://tasks.illustrativemathematics.org/content-standards/tasks/459.  The lesson is about ordering a set of 3-digit and 4-digit numbers.  The purpose of this task is for students to practice ordering numbers from least to greatest and greatest to least to help support sol 3.1c.  Students will play Race to Order Numbers Game in cooperative groups of 3 or 4 with different levels of ability.  Cooperative learning is a great strategy that maximizes student learning.  Students work together to order numbers that are displayed on the smartboard.  Alternatively, if the teacher does not have a smartboard available, he/she can write the numbers on the board.  Before playing this game, students need to have knowledge of place value.
