A three-page knowledge check on comparing and ordering numbers beyond 1,000 for Year 4 maths. Pupils give the value of underlined digits, complete a 1,000 more and less table, place <, > and = between pairs, order sets of four-digit numbers both ways, then rank three Scottish mountains by height. An answer key sits at the end. Written against the England National Curriculum place value objectives.
Number - number and place value
“Recognise the place value of each digit in a four-digit number”
The opening section checks digit values before any comparing starts.
Number - number and place value
“Find 1000 more or less than a given number”
Section 2 is a more-and-less table on this exact skill.
Number - number and place value
“Order and compare numbers beyond 1000”
Three of the five sections practise this, ending with real mountain heights.
Pupils write the value of the underlined digit in numbers like 4,205 and 7,183.
A table built around 4,520.
Insert <, > or = into pairs such as 3,450 and 3,540.
Order sets like 4,152, 4,512 and 4,215 from smallest to largest and back again.
Order Ben Nevis, Cairn Gorm and Ben Macdui by height.
