Overview

In this performance assessment, students will use their knowledge of comparing multi-digit numbers using > (greater than), < (less than), and = (equal to). Specifically, students will be asked to complete a performance task that will check their mastery of these skills. 

Prior to this assessment, students should have a solid foundation of whole number place value names through the ten thousand place as well as be able to identify and tell the difference between comparison symbols.
