Comparing Numbers Guided Master Math Unit 6 Greater Than Less Than Equal To

This unit is the sixth unit of a first grade MASTER math curriculum built around the belief that students need to be exposed to math in a variety of ways. It focuses on Comparing numbers using the greater than, less than, and equal to signs. Students will learn to compare numbers using base-10 blocks, ten frames, 2-digit numbers, addition, subtraction and words. There are enrichment opportunities to build their number sense to the hundreds and thousands place value. Master Math can be taught in many ways but I will provide the tools to make it a rotation based learning process. Each lesson begins with a whole group mini lesson provided in a SMART notebook version or a pdf file. Then students begin to rotate (much like centers). MASTER stands for Manipulatives, Apply Skills, Small Group, Technology, Enrichment, and Review. There are activities provided for each component listed, lesson plans, assessments, SMART notebook files, and a fun culminating craft. Included you will receive:
