Math Lesson-
Comparing Numbers 1-10

C.C. & State Standard(s): CCSS.Math.Content.K.CC.C.6

Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of
objects in another group, e.g., by using matching and counting strategies.

Objective(s): Students will compare numbers 1-10. They will circle the number that is greater than
or less than according to the question. They will count the numbers outloud to practice their
counting.

Student Friendly Objective(s): I will count the numbers and identify which one is greater or less
and circle it.

Assessment: Worksheets are provided for the children to work on after instruction. Check their work
as they complete the worksheets.

Key Vocabulary: More than or less than-use video for visual

Anticipatory Set: We are going on an adventure to find out which group/set of numbers has more or
less than each other. Play introduction video and stop to discuss.

Recall Prior Knowledge: We are building upon knowledge of numbers 1-10 and more than or less
than. Students need to know that there are numbers that are bigger or greater than or less than each
other. Show on worksheets that they are more than or less than.

Input/Modeling: Show the children different numbers that they will be completing on the
worksheets and ask them which is greater. How do they know this? Match the numbers to see how it
is bigger or smaller. If there are more left on one of the pictures, then it is bigger. What if I add one
more to the problem? Which one is bigger or greater? Show me on your hands, bigger or smaller.
Big is stretching out with our hands and small is small hands close together.

Check for Understanding/Guided Practice: We will divide into our math centers and practice
comparing numbers by doing worksheets, playing a game or using the bins with shapes in the front of
the room. With worksheets, make sure they are completing the problems correctly and understanding
that they need to count the numbers to know which is less than or greater.

Closure: We compared or looked at the numbers to know which one was more than or less than.
Play video for review of comparing numbers.

Independent Practice: At the math centers, the students will experience the different ways of
comparing numbers, worksheets, game or shapes.
 Differentiated Instruction/Accommodations: The content/assessment(s) is appropriate for all
students. To challenge advanced students, I can give them more problems that include 11 or 12 and
ask them to make a few more problems with the numbers to compare. To scaffold or support my
more emerging students, I will have them write down the numbers next to the pictures they count so
they can visualize the numbers. Everyone will feel success.

Reflection:

Did I do my best?

How do I know that the students achieved the intended learning outcomes for the lesson?

What went well?

What would I do differently the next time I teach this or a lesson?
