Creating Numbers that are Greater or Less Than

In Math, students are learning to generate a number that is greater than or less than a given whole number up to 120.


Essential Questions:
What does greater than mean? What does less than mean?

How do you read a greater or less than problem (5 is less than 6)? You read the left number first.

Do you see patterns in greater or less than problems?

At Home Practice:
Have your child roll two dice and write down the first total number. Then, have them draw a square box for the greater than, less than, or equal to sign to go. Next, have them roll the dice a second time, and write that number to the side of the empty box. Finally, have your child fill in the greater than, less than, or equal to sign in the box. For a greater challenge, if your child is ready for it, have him roll the dice more times to make larger numbers to compare. You can use a whiteboard. Here is an example of what we are aiming for:
