Young mathematicians compare two fractions with like denominators and then move to the next level to compare fractions with unlike denominators. They will first try to use mental math to make educated guesses. There are a few guidelines...

Use buttons, cards, and dice to perform simple math problems! This inventive lesson should be quite engaging for young learners. Kindergarteners use buttons to help them understand the concepts of greater than, less than, and equal to.

How many apples is less than five? Each of these problems has two images, one with quantifiable details and one without (i.e. a tree with apples and an empty tree). Answers will vary as young counters draw objects onto the second image...

Which one has fewer? There are three sets of pictures here for young counters who determine which has fewer of a given detail. They look at apples on trees, cupcakes on plates, and spots on dogs, checking off the one with fewer....

Use the 20 Questions game to practice math vocabulary and number properties! Project a hundreds chart and hand one out to learners. Ideally, give them counters (beans would work well) to mark off the chart so you can play multiple times....

Math studs discover patterns of adding and subtracting 10 from numbers in the hundreds chart. Examining the chart, they determine which numbers are 10 less than or 10 more than x, becoming familiar with other math-specific vocabulary...

Assess your 2nd graders math skills with this three-page activity. Page 1 tests their ability to tell time using analog clocks. Page 2 examines their ability to represent data with a bar graph, and page 3 assesses their understanding of...

Learners will have fun trying to trick their classmates in this interactive ten-frame riddle activity. After choosing a number and filling in the frame, they create three clues to challenge a classmate trying to guess their number. A...

Lower graders sort and group objects by their different properties. They watch a video about sorting then, sort and organize candy in different groups. Students compare how others sorted their candy. Finally, they decide which group has...

As they examine sets of shapes, learners compare the number of objects in each pair. There are eight comparisons total, and scholars use the symbols .

As they examine 10 pairs of numbers, learners fill in the box between them to compare values. They use mathematical symbols to indicate greater than, less than, or equal to. The numbers are between 5 and 99. This drill-and-practice...

Number 0-20 are the focus of this basic math lesson. Learners count on and back from given numbers less than and up to 20. They view a program that shows numbers (not included) and then play a number matching game where they roll a die...

Provide your first graders with an opportunity for independent practice organizing and understanding data. The ten story prompts on this three-page worksheet asks learners to solve problems involving concepts of the total number of...

How do you teach kindergartners to count? Use this scripted explanation to show pupils how to solve problems that ask them to determine whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of...

In this counting and comparing numbers worksheet, students count the object groups in 3 problems. Students identify the group in each problem that has more objects than the other 2 groups.

For this counting and comparing numbers worksheet, students count the object pairs in 2 problems. Students identify the group in each pair that has more objects than the other.

In this counting and comparing numbers worksheet, students count the objects in 2 problems. Students then draw more of the same objects in the spaces provided.

Help learners explore the concepts of more than, less than, and equal to. They participate in a button attribute activity, play a game using buttons and a die, draw the sets of buttons in their journal, and play button bingo.

Learners compare 2 sets using less than or more than. In this comparing lesson, students look at pictures of items and find which set has more.  They complete multiple choice questions on which set has less. 

In this counting worksheet, students count the pets in each of 5 problems. For the first two problems, students draw "more than" what is already pictured. For the last problems, students must draw "less than" what is shown.

In this comparing numbers learning exercise, students write the comparison using signs and words. In this fill in the blank learning exercise, students write answers to six problems.

In this solving algebraic equations worksheet, students solve 6 different algebra word problems. First, they define an equation as a mathematical statement that two expressions are equal. Then, students determine what the word problem is...

Young scholars order fractions to be less than one, one, and more than one. In this fractions lesson plan, students arrange fractions in a sequence, use number lines, identify fractions from pictures, and more.

In this English learners math instructional activity, 1st graders count pictures of stars shown in two boxes in each of 3 problems. They write the numbers and compare them to determine which is the greater number.
