🎲 Roll, Create and Compare Numbers!

Are you looking for a fun way for your students to practise comparing numbers? This place value worksheet can be used over and over again! Students can choose to complete this comparing three-digit numbers activity independently or with a partner.

This maths worksheet is completed by rolling a die 3 times, writing the number in each box, and then comparing the 2 three-digit numbers. This worksheet has 7 numbers that can be compared, but with each roll, your students are bound to get a different result each time they complete the worksheet!

Students will compare each pair of three-digit numbers and write the appropriate symbol needed to complete the number sentence using:

> (greater than)

< (less than)

= (equal to) 

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding 

In addition to independent student work time, use this worksheet as an activity for:

• guided maths groups
• lesson warm-up
• lesson wrap-up
• fast finishers.

For students who need a challenge, encourage them to write down a four-digit number on the back of their paper. Students will then roll the die four times and compare the numbers. 

For students who need additional support, use the editable version of the resource and limit the numbers to two digits.
