Lesson Plan : Greater than and less than
Teacher Name: | Angie |
Grade: | Grade 1 |
Subject: | Math |
Topic: | To teach children how to identify quantity values based on number size. |
Content: | Students develop, discuss, and use efficient, accurate, and general methods to add within 100 and subtract multiples of 10. They compare whole numbers (at least to 100) to develop understanding of and solve problems involving their relative sizes. They think of whole numbers between 10 and 100 in terms of tens and ones (especially recognizing the numbers 11 to 19 as composed of a ten and some ones). Through activities that build number sense, they understand the order of the counting numbers and their relative magnitudes. |
Goals: | Demonstrate an understanding of the concepts of less than, equal to, or greater than by comparing and ordering whole numbers to 100 using the symbols for those concepts (<, =, >) |
Objectives: | To keep the children engaged in the learning activity by use of "props" but also to ensure they are understanding the concept of the lesson. |
Materials: | white & green construction paper, scissors, glue, number sheets; 100's chart |
Introduction: | Advise students they will be making alligator teeth to help with a new math lesson. |
Development: | Writing sets of numbers on the board and showing students that unless the numbers are equal, the alligator should eat the bigger number because he is hungry and always wants more to eat. The number on the left is always referred to as the number that is greater than or less than. |
Practice: | First begin practicing as a class, then have students work on their on by giving them sets of numbers to use. Once the lesson is learned, more practice can be done eventually without the use of the crocodile teeth during math time. |
Accommodations: | Accommodations can be made for special needs children by allowing them to use number charts until they feel comfortable that they are no longer needed. Using physical items, such as beans, that can be counted and seen to identify piles that have less, more, or equal amounts. |
Checking For Understanding: | Alternative assessment can be done through individual oral assessment, testing, and checking assignments. |
Closure: | This lesson can help assist students with learning how to add and subtract numbers larger than 10, as well as number placement spots. |
