Free printable Grade 3 comparing numbers worksheets (Ontario)

Grade 3 comparing starts with whole numbers up to 1000. Expectation B1.2 is compare and order those numbers. The preview asks which symbol makes 878 __ 279 true, then puts 116, 750, and 137 in order from least to greatest. Two further items leave the whole-number track: which is greater, 0.88 or 0.2, and which is greater, 3/4 or 4/5. A parent looking only for three-digit comparisons will still find those first. The decimal and fraction items are there because this topic's question list includes them from Grade 3, while integers and thousandths wait for later grades.
