Parent guide
Grade 2 stretches comparing from two digits to three. The method stays the same, but now there is a hundreds place to check first. Kids who learned to read tens before ones in Grade 1 usually adapt fast.
The mistakes change a little. A pair like 98 and 102 looks backwards to many kids, because 9 is bigger than 1. They forget that three digits beat two. Another slip is reading a number like 305 as if the zero means nothing, so ask what that zero is holding.
Start with Comparing numbers to 100 as a warm up, especially at the hard level with close pairs. Then move to Comparing numbers to 1000. At the easy level, the hundreds digits differ, so your child gets quick wins. At the hard level, the hundreds match and the tens or ones decide.
Do a short sheet a few days in a row rather than a long one on Sunday. When your child can explain why one number is bigger without pointing at the sign, they have the idea. That is a good sign they are ready for adding and subtracting three-digit numbers.
