• Refer to the smartboard. Ask students to compare the two numbers on their wipe off
sleeve and see if they match. Ask the students to give you a thumbs up if their numbers
match their partners. Students should share out thumbs up.
• Show students the equal sign. This is the symbol in math that shows equal. Explain to
the students when two numbers are the same the “equal” sign is placed in between the
two numbers.
• Choose a student to read the math sentence: 54=54.
• Pose the questions: What happens when you have two numbers that are not the same?
• Erase the number on the right side of the math sentence with the number 53 on the
smartboard.
• Wipe-off Sleeve: Have students erase the number 54 on the right side and write 53 with
enough room to show what the number looks like in place value form.
• Students will show 53 in place value form. They have a choice of either drawing place
value or use tens and ones chart on the right side of their wipe off board.
• Once student has written the number, have the students turn and talk about which
number is greater or bigger and why?
• Teacher pose questions: How do we decide which number is bigger? What if you didn’t
know how to compare the numbers and you didn’t know which number was greater than?
Is there a way to figure it out? Students may say: I just know. One the hundreds chart
numbers 54 is bigger than 53.
• Teacher will explicitly explain: We first compare the largest place value. Which is the
largest place value the tens or ones? Have students circle the tens digit in each number.
Teacher will model it on the smartboard.
• Teacher will ask: Which digit is bigger? The 5 in the tens place or the 5? Students:
It’s the same. Teacher: What shall we do now? Students might say look at the ones
place. Teacher will say look at the ones place. Which digit is greater? 4 or 3
Teacher: If 4 is greater than 3 then which number is greater? 54 or 53?
• Show the greater than symbol to show that 54 is bigger than 53. Show the visual aid that
shows the greater than sign.
• Since we are only using the symbol greater than or equal to, we must start with the
greater number in our math sentence. Can you put the symbol in the circle? Double
check to make sure that the alligator is eating the greater number. Show me when you
are done. Check to make sure all students have the correct symbol. Erase the wipe-off
sleeve.
• Teacher will model one round of the game with Focus Learner, “Which number is
Greater?”
• To play this game we need to use Game Playing Etiquette. Refer to the visual aid of
steps to game playing.
• Introduce the visual aid of Game Playing Etiquette:
• 1) Decide who goes first
• 2) Eye contact when talking to partner
• 3) Take turns
• 4) Share with partner
• 5) High five to show good sportsmanship.
Which Number is Greater than? rules:
• 1) Students need to decide who goes first.
• 2) Student 1 flips a card from the deck and write the number on the Greater than
Comparison place value mat.
• 3) Student 2 flips a card from the deck and write the number on their Comparison place
value mat.
• 4) Student 1 and 2 will collaborate, compare the two numbers, and decide how to record
the two numbers on the recording sheet since they can only use the greater or equal
symbol.
• Students will play a round with teacher’s prompts and support and then go to their seats
to play the game independently.
• Students will do an exit sheet when they finish playing the game.
• Partners will take their “Which is Greater than” recording sheet and go to their seats to
play independently.
• Teacher: Boys and Girls I will be watching you to see if you are using Game Playing
Etiquette as you are playing “Which Number Is Greater?” and monitoring if you
understand how to compare two numbers using the greater than symbol. (Teacher will
videotape FL playing for authentic assessment purposes.)
• Teacher: When you are done, there is an exit sheet to complete after you finish playing
the game. You will find the sheet in your wipe-off sleeve. FL complete checklist.
• Paraprofessional: Will prompt and support whenever necessary so that assigned
student can play the game and complete the exit sheet.
Guided Practice
Teacher will first model the “Which Number is Greater?” game with Focus Learner. Teacher will
watch students play one round of the game with prompt and support. Students and Focus
Learner will use Game Playing checklist while engaging in the activity on the carpet. Focus
learner will refer to checklist while playing game, if necessary. Teacher will prompt students how
to complete the exit sheet after the activity. Feedback will be in the form of a “Glow and Grow”.
There is also student feedback on the student’s sheet to help teacher learn about the students’
feelings towards the subject matter. Teacher will have a conversation with Focus Learner how he
is achieving towards his annual goal.
Independent Practice
Students will play “Which Number is Greater?” with partners and complete exit sheet to compare
2 numbers using the symbol greater than or equal to.
Focus Learner will use Game Playing Etiquette to play “Which Number is Greater?” with partner,
complete exit sheet to compare 2 numbers using the symbol greater than or equal to, and Game
Playing checklist.
List Student Assessments:
Formative Assessments:
• Teacher will refer to pre-assessment baseline data sheet place value unit for students and
focus learner.
• Student will show teacher how to decompose numbers with place value (base ten long
and cubes and ten/ones chart on wipe-off sleeve.
• Students can compare 2 numbers by comparing the digits in the tens place first and then
ones place if necessary.
• Teacher will watch FL play with partner based on Game Playing Checklist.
Summative Assessment:

Lesson Plan 2: Comparing numbers using Less than and Equal to symbols
Communication Skill:
Focus Learner will be able to work collaboratively with peers.
Teacher Actions
• Have students “check-in” on the Mood meter, make sure everyone is either green or
yellow, otherwise implement mindful breathing.
• Activate prior knowledge: Last time we looked at the “greater than” sign when
comparing two numbers. Ask students to write their own greater than math sentence.
Have a student share it.
• If all students can create their own greater than math sentence, teacher will continue
with the lesson. If not, teacher will review the process of comparing two numbers for
the greater than symbol.
• Teacher explains that in the last lesson we have been comparing numbers and finding
the greater number. Can you guess what type of numbers we will be looking at?
Students should shout out “numbers that are not greater than”. Teacher will write the
same numbers from the last time. 54 and 53 on the smart board.
• Teacher will compare the numbers and ask students. “How do you know that 53 is the
lesser number?” Students: because if you compare the tens place it is the same
which means you have to go over to the ones place.
• Teacher will explicitly explain: Instead of picking the bigger number, we pick the
smaller or lesser number. Just like last time we need to put the lesser number on the
left-side. The other number goes on the other side. We write this symbol which is
lesser than. Have students complete the math sentence by placing the lesser
number on the left side.
• Student will read: 53 is less than 54.
• Let’s do one together. Have two students flip a number card. Write the numbers on
the smartboard. Have students write the numbers, show the numbers in place value
format and write a math sentence with the less than symbol. Show me when you are
done. Check to make sure all students have the correct symbol. Erase the wipe-off
sleeve.
• Last time we played “Which number is Greater?” Today we will be playing, “Which
number is less?” The rules are the same except instead of finding the bigger number,
we pick the smaller number or lesser number.
• Based on FL’s video of game playing, the teacher will focus on which steps to focus
on.
• Review the visual aid of Game Playing Etiquette:
Focus Learner will use Game Playing Etiquette to play “Which Number is Less?” with
partner, complete exit sheet to compare 2 numbers using the symbol less than or equal to
and Game Playing checklist.
