Introduction
(5 minutes)- Introduce this lesson by asking your class to name the place values.
- Show your students a hundreds block and a ones cube as visual aids. Ask your students to explain whether or not these two aids have the same value.
- Repeat the previous step with the tens block and a ones cube.
- Reiterate that even if the number of pieces is equal, the value, or size, of each piece determines which is less, or smaller, and which is greater, or bigger.
- Show the Greater Than or Less Than video.
- Alternatively, you can expand two numbers on the board to determine which is greater.
