Greater or Less?

Expand the the comparative language of young mathematicians with a hand-on weight measurement activity. Working independently or in pairs, children compare the weight of large wooden blocks to various other classroom objects, recording...

Understanding the concept of equality is fundamental to the success of young mathematicians. To explore this basic idea, children compare the dots arranged in pairs of rectangles in order to determine whether or not they contain an equal...

Young mathematicians spin their way to a deeper number sense with this fun, collaborative activity. Using two spinners, one with the numbers 0-9 and the other with the decades 00-90, pairs of learners take turns building and comparing...

A discussion begins a lesson on comparing numbers. Pupils explain how they can show a number, then visit math centers to explore number-making tools. A story read-aloud of More or Less by Stuart Murphy identifies language for comparing...

In this comparing fractions practice worksheet, learners sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems that require them to compare fractions.

In this exercise, students practice their understanding of the concepts of less and greater. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints and try questions repeatedly.

Trying to decide which method to use to compare the value of two fractions? You could find a common denominator, you could turn them into decimals, or you could cross multiply. Let's cross multiply because we like to multiply more than...

The teacher will show the class two groups of objects or drawings of objects for the young scholars to compare using greater than/less than language. Students will discuss in pairs how they know which number is greater or less than the...

Two very similar numbers and you have to figure out which one is larger. The teacher diagrams a place value chart and shows you how to write the two numbers to make a comparison.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] For this learning module, students are presented with two numbers up to 1,000 which they must compare using their knowledge of place value. Includes video...
