The diagrams below represent piles of pennies.

Pile #1: 6 squares each with 12 written within. One small square with 6 written within.  3 circles.

Pile #2: 16 rectangles, each with 5 written within.

  1. Which pile has more pennies? Explain your reasoning.

    Try calculating the sum of each pile.

    Don't forget to state which pile has more!

    Pile #1 has pennies and Pile #2 has pennies.

  2. Write two different numerical expressions to represent the number of pennies in each pile.

    What different ways can you calculate the sums of the piles?

    For instance:

  3. Write a number comparison statement(using , , or ) to show if the number of pennies in one pile is greater than the other or if they are the same.

    Remember:
    means that the number on the left is greater than the number on the right and means that the number on the left is less than the number on the right.
