Comparing and Ordering Numbers

This series of interactive excel sheets aimed at Year Four students look at comparing and ordering numbers. Answers can be checked each time and new questions generated at the click of a button.

In the first sheet students have to complete the missing numbers or the next three terms in a number sequence. In the following sheet the number sequences contain negative numbers.

In the third sheet students have to select numbers that lie between two other numbers from a list of nine values.

In the fourth sheet students have to read the correct temperature from two thermometers. There are three possible options to choose from, including negative values.

In the fifth sheet three values have to be placed in order from smallest to largest. Two- to four-digit numbers can be selected.

In the sixth sheet students have to determine if three numbers lie between two other values. The magnitude of the values involved can be adjusted. In the following sheet students have to complete an inequality statement between two bounds by selecting a value from a bank of five possible options.

In the eighth sheet students have to place the correct inequality symbol between two numbers. The final sheet generates five questions of this type for students to attempt.
