In this activity, students will practice comparing three-digit numbers by playing a game. The students will work with a partner to draw three cards, arrange the cards to make the largest number, and then decide which student has the largest number. This learning activity will help the students understand place values and the words "equal to", "less than", or "greater than."

In the warm-up activity, students will read about Gavin and Chase, two students who disagree when they compare two 3-digit numbers. The students will decide who is correct and defend their thinking using their knowledge of place value and appropriate academic vocabulary.
