Students must be able to compare whole numbers, place those numbers in a specified order (least to greatest or greatest to least), and create and use representations (such as those using the symbols >, <, or =) to organize, record, and communicate mathematical ideas.
Example
The estimated population of Arlington was 383,204 in 2014. At the same time, the estimated population of Corpus Christi was 320,434 and the estimated population of El Paso was 679,036. List these populations in order from greatest to least by writing two different inequalities representing the comparisons of the population figures.
