Quarter 1 – Module 5(b):
Ordering 4 to 5-Digit Numbers
Introductory Message

For the facilitator:

Welcome to the Mathematics-Grade 3 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM)
Module on Ordering 4 to 5-Digit Numbers!
This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by
educators both from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher or
facilitator in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12
Curriculum while overcoming their personal, social, and economic constraints
in schooling.
This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and
independent learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this
also aims to help learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking
into consideration their needs and circumstances.
As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing
them to manage their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage
and assist the learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

What I Need to Know

This module is designed and written with you in mind. It is made to help
you comprehend Ordering 4 to 5-Digit Numbers in Increasing and Decreasing
Order. The scope of this module permits it to be used in many different learning
situations and specially-designed to facilitate learners with learning difficulty-
those who are at risk of failing. The language used recognizes your diverse
vocabulary backgrounds. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard
sequence of the course but the order in which you read them can be changed to
correspond with the Mathematics Grade 3 learning materials you are using.

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. Order 4 to 5-Digit Numbers in Increasing and Decreasing Order
(M3NS-Ib13.3).

 Orders 4 to 5-Digit Numbers in
Lesson Increasing or Decreasing Order
Each number has its own value that no two different numbers has the
same value. Number values will be used in ordering numbers especially with
multiple digits.
This module will help you on how to order 4 to 5-digit numbers in
increasing order or vice-versa. Your knowledge in comparing numbers that you
have learned previously will be very helpful in this lesson. As a review, kindly
do the activity below.

What’s In

Activity 2
Remember: In comparing numbers, we use the symbols > for “greater than”, <
for “less than” and = for “equal”.

Direction: Use the symbols “<”, “>” or “=” to compare the following set of
numbers correctly. Write the correct answer on the blank.

1.) 8 691 _____ 8 961

2.) 5 287 _____ 5 827
3.) 5 600 _____ 5 000 + 600 + 0 + 0

What’s New

vii
 Your teacher gave you 5 report cards with serial numbers: 23456, 22456,
20456, 21456 and 24456. If you are told to arrange the report cards based on
their serial numbers in increasing order, how will you arrange them? How about
if your teacher wanted them in decreasing order, can you do it?

What is It

Comparing two numbers may sound easy but when more than two
numbers are to be compared together, it would be a bit difficult. However,
comparing them can be done easily by arranging them whether in increasing or
decreasing order.
To arrange numbers in increasing or decreasing order, just follow these
simple steps:
1. Write the given numbers in vertical formation aligning the digits
according to their place value.
Example:
Ten
23456 Thousands Hundreds Tens Ones
Thousands
22456 2 3 4 5 6
20456 2 2 4 5 6
21456 2 0 4 5 6
24456 2 1 4 5 6
2 4 4 5 6

2. Then, compare the numbers starting with the greatest place value
downwards – ten thousands, thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones. If the
numbers on that specific place value are the same or equal, proceed to the
next place value until you find difference of the value of numbers in that
specific place value.
Example:

viii
 Ten
Thousands Hundreds Tens Ones
Thousands
2 3 4 5 6
2 2 4 5 6
2 0 4 5 6
2 1 4 5 6
2 4 4 5 6

Numbers are not equal. Let’s

Numbers are equal or the same.
compare numbers on this place
Proceed to the next place value.
value.

3. Arrange the numbers on the place value with different numbers based on
what is being asked to you, whether increasing (0, 1, 2, 3, 4) or
decreasing (4, 3, 2, 1, 0).

In this case, you are told to arrange in increasing order. To arrange

the numbers, just copy the family numbers of those that we have just
arranged or compared (increasing order).

 Therefore: The increasing order of the report cards’ serial numbers

are 20 456
21 456
22 456
23 456
24 456.

In ordering numbers with different place values, always consider first

their greatest place values. Then, you can proceed on ordering them by
following the given steps.
Example: Arrange the following numbers in increasing order.
2 786 12 790 543 65 5 788 521
Solution:

23456 ix

22456
Step 1. Write the given numbers in vertical formation starting with the
number having the greatest place value. Align the digits according
to their place value.
12 790
5 788
2 786
543
521
65
Step 2. Compare the numbers starting with the greatest place value down
to the ones place.
12 790
5 788
2 786
543

Answer: 12 790, 5 788, 2 786, 543, 521, 65
