Learning Objectives
Students will be able to compare numbers 1-10 to determine which is greater.
The adjustment to the whole group lesson is a modification to differentiate for children who are English learners.
Introduction
(2 minutes)
- Gather the class together for a read-aloud.
- Show the cover of the book and say, "This book is called Gavin the Gator: Greater Than and Less Than . Does anyone know what the words 'greater' and 'less' mean?"
- Ask students to share their ideas and say, "Greater means there is more of something and less means there is a smaller amount."
Beginning
- Review numbers 1–10 in student home language (L1).
- Ask students to pair-share their ideas for greater/less in their home language (L1).
Intermediate
- Have students turn and share with a partner what they think "greater"/"less" means.
