About this worksheet
“Compare Two-Digit Numbers” is sheet 9 of 30 in our free 1st Grade Math Worksheets collection, written for children aged 6–7.
In the set it comes after “Halves and Fourths” and before “Fact Families”. Working through them in that order, one sheet a day, builds the skill a step at a time.
What this worksheet practices
1.NBT.B.3 · Common Core Math · Grade 1
Number & Operations in Base Ten
Children work on place value — ones, tens and hundreds — and using it to compare numbers and to add and subtract.
How to use this worksheet
- 1
Use "Fact Families" as the bridge sheet. A child who sees that 3 + 4 = 7 and 7 − 4 = 3 are the same fact stops treating subtraction as a separate thing to memorise, which halves the work.
- 2
For word problems, have your child underline the question before touching the numbers. Most first-grade word-problem errors are reading errors, not arithmetic ones.
- 3
Do "Tens and Ones" before "Compare Two-Digit Numbers". Comparing 47 and 74 is guesswork until place value is solid.
- 4
On "Telling Time", read the analogue clock aloud as "half past three" as well as "three thirty". Children who only learn the digital form struggle when the wording changes on a test.
