Access Point #: MAFS.2.NBT.1.AP.4cArchived Access Point

Compare three-digit numbers using representations and numbers (e.g., identify more hundreds, less hundreds, more tens, less tens, more ones, less ones, larger number, smaller number).
Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Use base ten blocks to represent two numbers.
  • Use matching, starting with the ‘hundreds’, to determine which set of base ten blocks is more, fewer, larger, or smaller than the other set.
Representation:
  • Use a visual representation of base ten blocks to represent two numbers.
  • Use matching of visual representations of base ten blocks, starting with the ‘hundreds’, to determine which set of base ten blocks is fewer, larger, or smaller than the other set.
  • Recognizing the value of a digit, in a three-digit number, based on its place on a place value chart (e.g., the 2 in 257 represents 2 hundreds or 200), compare two numbers starting with the digit in the ‘hundreds’ place.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of the following concepts, symbols, and vocabulary: more, fewer, larger, smaller, tens, ones.

Category: Access Points
Date Adopted or Revised: 06/14
Cluster: Understand place value. (Major Cluster)

Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.
