Task

In the classroom, students will have papers to cut to make the greater than, less than, and equal signs as alligators.

Students will count on a number line

Students will put dots corresponding with numbers

Evaluation

Students will successfully be able to identify the bigger and smaller number when comparing two numbers.

Students will successfully be able to tell which sign is greater than, less than, or equal to.

Students will be graded on making the alligator signs.

Students will be graded by putting the dots with their corresponding numbers. Since there will be 1-10, I will be grading how many they get from 1-10.

 

Conclusion

In conclusion, my kindergarten class will be learning how to compare numbers. Savvas will be their curriculum to learn and understand about comparing numbers and the inequality signs. The enrichment activities are: them creating the alligator the greater than, less than, and equal to signs, matching the dots with their corresponding numbers, and watching and listening to the video about the inequality sign. After that, the students will be on IXL to practice and play the inequality signs game on what they learned.
