This Grade 2 worksheet builds fluency comparing three-digit numbers across all three places at once. Students sort pairs by whether the first or second number is greater, fill in reasoning statements, and judge true-or-false claims. The practice trains Grade 2 learners to scan the hundreds, tens, and ones in order so they can quickly identify which number wins, supporting 2.NBT.4 mastery.

Comparing Three-Digit Numbers
Part A: Sort the Words
Sort each word or number into the correct category box.
523 vs 498312 vs 321645 vs 654789 vs 798600 vs 599431 vs 438
First is greater
Second is greater
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. 523 is greater than 498, so the first number is greater.
2. In 312 vs 321, the second number is greater.
3. In 645 vs 654, the second is greater because its tens digit is larger.
4. 600 vs 599: the first is greater because 6 hundreds beats 5 hundreds.
5. If the hundreds match, we compare the tens next.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. In 431 vs 438, the second number is greater.
True False
2. 789 is greater than 798.
True False
3. Compare hundreds first when looking at three-digit numbers.
True False
4. If hundreds are equal, the numbers must be equal.
True False
