Fascinating Fact:

One million seconds is about eleven and a half days while one billion seconds is over thirty one years. Big numbers grow faster than you can blink.

In 11 Plus Maths, comparing and ordering numbers helps pupils master place value and recognise how digits change size and meaning depending on their position in large numbers.

Key Terms

Value: The worth of a digit based on where it appears in a number.
Greater Than: A symbol used to show that one number is larger than another (>).
Less Than: A symbol used to show that one number is smaller than another (<).

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How do you compare large numbers easily?

Start with the leftmost digit and compare each one. The first number with a higher digit in the same place is the larger number.

What does the less than symbol mean?

The less than symbol (<) points to the smaller number. For example, 6 < 9 means six is smaller than nine.

Why is place value important in maths?

Place value helps you understand the meaning of each digit, making it easier to read, compare, and calculate with large numbers.

What is wrong with this calculation: 17 + 26 - 17 = 43?

17 + 26 - 17 = 17

17 + 26 - 17 = -43

17 + 26 - 17 = 26

17 + 26 - 17 = -26

-17 + 17 = 0. Whenever you have two identical numbers that differ only in sign - they cancel each other out to give zero

2 .

Which of the following numbers is the largest: -86, 72, 0, -72?

-86

-72

72 is the only number greater than zero, so it is the largest

3 .

How many times smaller than 132 is 12?

120

132 ÷ 12 = 11, so 132 is 11 times bigger than 12. That's because there are 11 lots of 12 in 132: 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 = 132

4 .

Starting from zero, if you keep on moving left along the number line, what happens to the numbers?

They become larger and larger positive numbers

They become smaller and smaller negative numbers

That's impossible!

They become larger and larger negative numbers

Remember that going RIGHT means positive numbers increasing. If you move LEFT starting from zero along the number line, the numbers become smaller and smaller negative numbers, not bigger and bigger

5 .

How would you arrange the following numbers in ascending order: 5, 9, 2, 0, -1?

-1, 0, 2, 5, 9

9, 5, 2, 0, -1

0, -1, 2, 5, 9

9, 5, 2, -1, 0

'Ascending order' means that the numbers increase in size as you read from left to right

6 .

Which number lies exactly between -128 and 126?

-2

-1

Here's how you solve problems like this: add both numbers together THEN divide by two: (-128 + 126) = -2. So, -2 ÷ 2 = -1

7 .

How many times bigger than 4 is 32?

32 ÷ 4= 8, so 32 is 8 times bigger than 4. That's because there are 8 lots of 4 in 32: 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 32

8 .

What number lies exactly halfway between 21 and 75?

Here's how you solve problems like this: add both numbers together THEN divide by two: (21 + 75) = 96. So, 96÷ 2 = 48

9 .

How would you arrange the following numbers in descending order: 4, 14, -8, 12, 0?

-8, 0, 4, 12, 14

0, 4, -8, 12, 14

14, 12, 4, 0, -8

14, 12, -8, 4, 0

'Descending order' means that the numbers decrease in size as you read from left to right

10 .

Which of the following is the biggest number: -7, -77, 0, -777?

-777

-77

-7

All the other numbers are negative, so zero is the biggest number. ZERO IS A NUMBER
