Lesson 11 Place Value Comparisons (Part 2)

- Let’s compare three-digit numbers using place value.

Warm-up True or False: Greater Than or Less Than

Decide if each statement is true or false. Be prepared to explain your reasoning.

$86 > 80 + 4$
$400 + 40 + 6 < 846$
$330 < 300 + 3$
$500 + 50 > 505$
