problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this True or False is to elicit strategies and understandings students have for working with the value of the digits in a three-digit number. These understandings help students consider place value when comparing three-digit numbers. This will be helpful later when students compare three-digit numbers without visual representations.

1 minute: quiet think time
Activity
Share and record answers and strategy.

\(86 > 80 + 4\)
\(400 + 40 + 6 < 846\)
\(330 < 300 + 3\)
\(500 + 50 > 505\)

Activity Synthesis
“How could expanded form help you decide whether the expression
\(330 < 300 + 3\)
is true or false?” (I knew that 30 is 3 tens and 3 is only 3 ones, so 330 is greater than 303.)
