This document discusses comparing and ordering numbers. It explains that to compare numbers, they should be lined up based on their place value and the digits compared from left to right. The number with the greater value in the highest place is considered larger. It provides examples of comparing standard numeric values as well as word forms of numbers to standard forms. Multiple choice questions are also included to test ordering three numbers from least to greatest.
