Lesson Plan 2
Standards - CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.NBT.B.3
Compare two two-digit numbers based on meanings of the tens and
ones digits, recording the results of comparisons with the symbols >,
=, and <.
Objectives Students will be able to identify the difference between
the symbols >, =, and <.
Students will be able to compare two-digit numbers based on the tens
and ones digits.
Students will be able to record their results of the comparisons.
Procedures To start off the lesson I will do a quick review of twodigit numbers and their ten and ones place values. Once we have
reviewed for a while I will begin by putting a few different numbers on
the board to start off the lesson. Once a few numbers are on the board
I will begin asking the students what number is higher and what
numbers are lower. I will then introduce the >, =, and < symbols. As a
class we will put as many examples on the board as needed to make
sure that everyone is understanding what each symbol stands for. After
the examples are done the students will split into pairs to work on
furthering their knowledge on this specific topic. Each pair will get 2

bags of cards, one bag will have the >, =, < symbols on the cards and
the other bag will be filled with numbers. The students have to use the
symbols to indicate what numbers are greater than, less than, or equal
to each other. While they are completing this activity, I will be walking
around to make sure that they are understanding and staying on topic.
If when I am walking around I feel like there are certain groups, pairs,
or individuals I can call them to the back of the room for small group
work to help them out. After giving the students time to practice on
their own I will call them back as a whole group and give one final
example on the board to close out the lesson.
Assessment Students will be given a worksheet to complete that
night for homework. The worksheet will include explaining the
difference between each of the three symbols. The worksheet will then
have the students compare two-digit numbers and records their results
by using the three symbols that they had learned in their most recent
math lesson.
