## Activity 1 Who is Out of Order?

Kiran

207, 217, 272, 269, 290

Andre

207, 217, 269, 272, 290

Andre disagreed with Kiran, so he used a number line to justify his answer.

Who do you agree with? Why?

Be prepared to explain your thinking. Use what you know about place value or the number line to justify your reasoning.
