Number Hunt

Worksheet Description

This worksheet focuses on identifying the smallest and greatest numbers within sets of six-digit numbers. In each set, students are tasked with circling the smallest number in one section and the greatest number in another. This exercise is designed to help students develop their ability to quickly and accurately compare large numbers by focusing on the value of each digit from left to right. The activity provides a practical and engaging way to reinforce students’ understanding of numerical order and the importance of place value in determining the magnitude of numbers.

This worksheet teaches students to carefully analyze and compare numbers by identifying both the smallest and largest values within a group. By focusing on digit-by-digit comparison, students sharpen their skills in evaluating the relative size of numbers, which is essential for understanding order and sequence in mathematics. The exercise also helps students build confidence in working with large numbers, ensuring they can quickly distinguish between similar-looking figures. Overall, this activity enhances their ability to handle more complex mathematical tasks that involve comparing and ordering large numbers.
