About these comparing numbers worksheets

Comparing numbers relies on place value: compare the highest place first. Each question shows two numbers and a box for <, > or =. Many pairs are close (like 47 and 74, or 352 and 358), because those are the ones that test understanding.

Choose numbers up to 10 for beginners or up to six digits.

Settings you can change

Each sheet has 30 questions by default (from 6 to 60), a name, date and score line, and an answer key on a separate page. Best for kindergarten to grade 4 (ages 5–10).

  • Number size: Up to 10, 2 digits, 3 digits, 4 digits, 6 digits.

Teaching tips

  • “The crocodile eats the bigger number” helps young children remember which way the sign opens.
  • Compare digits from the left.
  • Ask children to explain one answer aloud.

New questions every time

The questions are written by rules on your device, not picked from a fixed sheet, so every tap of “New worksheet” gives a different set. Nothing is uploaded. Explore all math worksheets.

Frequently asked questions

Are some numbers equal?

About one question in seven has equal numbers, so children must check rather than always choose < or >.

What is the worksheet code?

Every sheet prints a short code. Typing the same code with the same settings rebuilds exactly the same questions, so you can reprint a sheet later or share the code with another teacher.

Is it really free to print?

Yes. There’s no signup and no limit. The worksheets are generated on your device, and you can use them at home or in class.

Can I make a different comparing numbers worksheet for each student?

Yes. Tap “New worksheet” for a fresh set of questions with the same settings. Each sheet has its own answer key, so you can hand out different versions.

Which grades are these worksheets for?

Kindergarten to grade 4 (ages 5–10), depending on the settings you choose. Switch on “Big print” for younger children.
