Comparing and Ordering Whole Numbers Mastery

This video tutorial covers the essential skill of comparing and ordering whole numbers, a fundamental math skill for sixth graders. It introduces two methods: using a number line and using place value. The number line method involves visualizing numbers on a line to determine their order, while the place value method involves aligning numbers vertically and comparing digits from left to right. The tutorial also demonstrates how to order numbers from least to greatest using these methods.
