Compare Numbers to 100

Watch: Watch whether the learner chooses less than after comparing the tens. The decisive evidence is the selected relation from 23 to 32; the response alone does not prove which strategy was used.

Misread: Choosing equal to may reflect treating the same two digits as the same number; choosing greater than may reflect reading the order backward or comparing only the ones. The response identifies the wrong relation, not the learner’s hidden reasoning.

Curriculum: This task assesses comparison of two-digit whole numbers by place value and accurate use of less than, equal to, and greater than for an ordered comparison.
