We started by introducing greater than and less than with the alligators. This power point was amazing!!
To help understand the concept we used Cookie Crisp cereal. An amazing co teacher of mine shared this idea with us!! We rolled the dice and counted the cookies, placed them in the oval, then we compared the two numbers. Day two I allowed the kids to use number cards for this activity. They had them face down and chose two cards. Then they counted the correct number of cookies and chose the correct alligator!
I have never had a class grasp this concept so well! To follow up and show our understanding we completed a worksheet.
Here is a link to find the worksheets and work mats that I have used in this unit.
