Worksheet Description

This worksheet presents a series of three-number sets, each set arranged horizontally at the top of separate sections. Below each set of numbers are two boxes labeled ‘Least’ and ‘Greatest.’ Students are instructed to analyze the numbers in each set and write the smallest number in the ‘Least’ box and the largest number in the ‘Greatest’ box. The task focuses on identifying the extremes in a small set of single-digit numbers.

The worksheet is structured to educate students on recognizing and comparing individual numbers to determine their value relative to one another. By selecting the smallest and largest numbers from a given set, students practice the skills of evaluation and number value assessment. The activity is aimed at enhancing students’ understanding of the concepts of least and greatest in the context of numerical sequences. This foundational math skill is vital for learning more complex ordering and comparing tasks in mathematics.
