Worksheet Overview

In this worksheet, put numbers in descending order, starting with the largest number and ending with the smallest. 

For example:

Put the numbers in descending order.

469car541car931car518car

 

Answer:  

931, 541, 518, 469

Firstly, 931 is the biggest because it has the largest hundreds digit.

Next we compare 541 and 518. They both have a 5 in the hundreds place, so we look at the tens place and see that 541 is larger than 518.

469 is the smallest because 469 has the smallest hundreds digit.
