Compare and Order Numbers (Year 4)

One of the most important skills children develop in KS2 Maths is the ability to compare and order numbers. This includes ordering negative numbers, decimal numbers and four figure numbers, as well as recognising the greater than >, smaller than < and equal to = symbols. This is the first of two quizzes on the subject and it is aimed primarily at children in Year 4.

Being able to compare and order numbers is about knowing the size of numbers. Knowing 1 to 100 is straightforward, but what about negative numbers or numbers with decimal points? Is 0.7 larger than 0.07? What about larger numbers like 9,973 and 9,987 - which is larger? If you know your ones tens, hundreds and thousands, along with your tenths, hundredths and thousandths, you should be able to work the answers out.

Try this quiz and see how well you can compare and order whole, decimal and negative numbers. For 8-9 year olds.
