Comparing Numbers Unit: Kindergarten Guided Math

Are your students ready to tackle and explore comparing numbers and sets to 10? Everything you need to teach an engaging guided math unit is included here! Students will learn to compare sets, compare numbers, compare numbers using signs, identify 1 more/1 less, and identify how many more/how many less/how many in all.

These units were developed to be taught whole group but would also work well in a small group guided math setting. The teacher will be guiding the students through a gradual-release model.

What is Included?

*Poster - A greater gator poster with an original greater gator poem is included.

*Math Wall Cards - Cards for a math word wall are included.

*Warm Up - engaging whole body counting activities
