                   Complete the description of Sofia’s number sequence.


                                   at 74. Count                      in tens. Stop at                     .




                Worked example 4


                Compare 34 and 43. Which is the greater number?




                             43 has 4 tens.                                  10s                  1s

                          34 only has 3 tens.

                    43 must be greater than 34.
                           I do not need to

                           look at the ones.



                                    34 is closer to

                                      0 than 43.

                                                34      43
