This activity is a great time filler and a fast paced activity to help cement the concept of larger numbers in the student's mind. Randomly display a list of large numbers and give the students 30 seconds to put as many in order as they can. For further instruction, explain how they can make a chart, rather like a place value chart, that can quickly tell them which is larger and which is smaller based on the values of their places.
