Thinking Skill: Comparing
Comparing is a thinking skill used to identify similarities and differences among
a group of things or items. In order to apply this technique, we have to be
observant and careful. When comparing numbers, look carefully at each digit
before deciding if one number is greater or smaller than the other.
We may also use a number line for comparison when there are more than two
numbers. The number line is one that shows evenly spaced marked points. The
marked points on the left are smaller numbers than the marked points on the
right. Place a dot on the marked point to show the position of the number. With
a few points on the number line, we can easily identify which number is greater
or smaller.
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
An example of a number line with marked points 1 and 6.
(Here it shows that 6 is greater than 1.)
