CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.CC.C.7 Compare two numbers between 1 and 10 presented as written numerals. Subject(s) of the lesson Prerequisite Knowledge: What do they need to know? What will you Counting and Cardinality have them recall? Compare numbers Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality. Know number names and symbols. Content Students will learn strategies to compare numbers presented in two groups. Students will build fluency in knowing number quantities. List the objectives for this lesson. They should include what the students will learn from your instruction Students will be able to compare numbers as evidenced by abstract knowledge of quantities. This lesson will increase their fluency in counting and cardinality. How will you teach the content? Details help. Include the game(s), what do you do before the games and how do you follow-up. Modeled/guided practice: In whole group, the teacher will present numerals with a Smart board activity. The teacher uses the Notebook screen shade to hide two pairs of numerals. She explains to kindergarten students that their job is to determine numbers that are more, less or equal. But the twist is that the screen shade will only stay down for 3 seconds, and the student who tells how many must explain how they know. For example, students may say 5 comes before 6 or that 8 is two more than 6. Independent practice: Student will work in pairs, viewing a Scratch game designed to flash two numbers on the screen. One student will operate the game while the other student names numbers that are more, less and equal. Each student will complete 4 slides. After they name which has more, less and equal, they will write the two numbers on a graphic organizer and circle the number that is more, X-out the number that is less and underline numbers that are equal. The student must explain how they know which number is more to their partner each time they take a turn. Closure: Students will reconvene on the carpet and share the ways they compared two numbers on the Scratch game. They will use their recording sheet to help them explain their mathematical thinking. Additional materials you will use and how will you use them. Smart board/projector: Whole group/guided practice instruction. Smart Notebook Lesson: Students will view the number pairs to learn how to describe differences and build fluency with comparing numbers. Teacher will utilize the screen shade as an important timing aspect of building automaticity. iPads: In pairs, students will complete the pre-made Scratch games. Graphic organizers: Students will complete graphic organizers that show more, less or equal numbers. Evaluation Strategies Teacher observation/questioning Student graphic organizers.
Name ____________________________ Comparing Numbers Game K.CC.7
I can compare quantities because I explain number sequence and quantities that are more, less or equal.
Write the Two Numbers
Circle the number that is More X-Out the number that is fewer Underline the numbers that are equal
