Students will be able to compare two two-digit numbers.

Introduction

(5 minutes)
  • Call students together.
  • Ask students to think about a time they have needed to compare two things. If students need help coming up with a time, possible suggestions are choosing which piece of cake was bigger or picking the bouncier ball.
  • As students think about these experiences, remind them that in these situations, they were considering which item was bigger or greater in some way.
  • Explain to students that today they will be determining which number is greater.
