Greater Than Less Than

This week we continued to focus on quantity relationships in math. We played a variety of games and solved a variety of problems using strategies we learned in class. We continue to begin our math lessons by solving math problems related to the concepts we are learning in class. Students are reading math problems, becoming familiar with math terminology and learning strategies from their peers.

Students explored greater than and less than this week. We played math games and solved problems related to the symbols < > and =. 

Students are becoming familiar with math terms and brainstorming together alternate words so that we can better understand the concepts. For instance, another word for a number that is greater than is bigger. Another word for a number that is less than is smaller. Our math chats, and group problem solving is helping our students to better understand the quantity relationships. Ask your child to recall what they learned this week about greater than and less than!
