Lesson Purpose

The purpose of this lesson is for students to order, compare, and describe three-digit numbers using their understanding of place value.

Lesson Narrative

This lesson is optional because it is an opportunity for extra practice that not all classes may need. In Activity 1, students learn a new stage of the Get Your Numbers in Order center, which was first introduced in grade 1. In this stage, students use their understanding of relative magnitude to order three-digit numbers. In Activity 2, students choose 2 activities to work on that provide practice with place value, addition, and subtraction.
