What's included?
Dedicated Year 3 resources for pupils to compare numbers up to 1000 using comparison symbols (<, >, =), a core KS2 Maths objective for place value. Activities build strong reasoning skills by requiring pupils to compare digits column by column (H, T, O), ensuring deepening understanding. This essential small step supports mastery of mathematical comparison and is vital for meeting national curriculum expectations. The CS Maths Scheme provides varied 3-digit number comparison tasks.
