Largest/smallest number possible

Key Notes :

Largest Number :largest number is determined by the digits in the number. The digit in the highest place value (e.g., hundreds, thousands) contributes the most to making the number larger.

Smallest Number : mallest number is determined by the digits in the number, with the smallest digits (e.g., zeros) in the lowest place values making the number smaller.

Activities and Examples:

• Largest Number:
  • Ask students to create the largest number possible using given digits (e.g., using 1, 3, 5, and 7 to make 7,531).
  • Practice ordering numbers from smallest to largest and vice versa

• Smallest Number:
  • Encourage students to identify the smallest number in a set.
  • Use real-world examples like counting objects, where zero represents no objects present.
