    • Students will be able to compare and order numbers up to 100 using symbols (<, >)
  • Students will be able to identify the greatest and least number in a given set of numbers

    • Materials:

    1. Introduction: Begin by reviewing the symbols (<, >, =) and their meanings (less than, greater than, equal to). Have students give examples of numbers that would fit each symbol.
    2. Guided Practice: Show students a set of numbers and have them use the symbol cards to order them from least to greatest.
    3. Independent Practice: Give each student a set of number cards and have them use the symbol cards to compare and order the numbers in their set.
    4. Whole Group Review: Have a few students share their ordered sets of numbers with the class and discuss any patterns or strategies they used to order them.

    Assessment: Have students work independently to complete a worksheet that includes a variety of problems comparing and ordering numbers up to 100.

    Closure: Remind students of the importance of being able to compare and order numbers in their everyday lives, such as when shopping or budgeting.

    Differentiation: For students who need extra support, provide them with a smaller set of numbers to work with. For students who need an extra challenge, have them compare and order numbers up to 1000.
