Students are expected to learn Lessor and Greater values. Students most likely know when a number is bigger or smaller than another number but using the lessor or greater value is the main lesson.
Teachers will need a Marker board/ cut out alligator. One in the shape of > and another in the shape of <.
Students are expected to know which numbers are greater and smaller, but learn how to use the symbols to show which is which. For this Lesson students will each get a cut out alligator to use for the lesson in which they can keep. A double sided alligator so that they can switch the sign to show less than or greater than. The idea is to teach students that the gator "eats" the biggest number so that the greater sign is open to the greater number, example; 8 < 9
Students will enjoy making their alligator symbols for this assignment. Other things can be used instead of numbers, such as; gas prices from different stations, the amount of cereal in a box, who's shoe is bigger and etc.
