How to use it

  1. Compare real quantities first with linking cubes and counters.
  2. Move to pictures and ten frames with the compare-the-quantity pages.
  3. Introduce the symbols >, < and = with the symbol cards and worksheets.
  4. Practice one more, one less and number neighbors.
  5. Order numbers from least to greatest, then check understanding with the assessment.

Classroom idea

Build two cube towers, ask “Which is greater?”, and let children place the symbol card between them before writing it on paper.

Adaptations

  • PreK enrichment: stay with quantities and ten frames before using the symbols.
