This weeks math focus has been comparing two digit numbers. Students are learning how to compare numbers by looking at place value( how many tens and ones) and using a number line. We created a human number line to compare numbers. We are moving away from "alligator" mouth and actual math talk, greater than less than and equal. The alligator mouth helps them visualize the mouth wanting to eat the larger number but if over used its not teaching them the actual term and significance of a number being compared to another number.
