Math Activities: Comparing Numbers
In this activity you will experiment with different everyday items that are found round the house to explore greater and less than concepts using smaller and larger numbers.
| Step | You and your child |
Lay out two plates. |
|
Put five pennies on one plate
and three on the other plate. |
Which plate has more pennies, macaroni, marbles, pencil crayons, pebbles, or whatever ? Which plate has less? |
By using items found
around the house you are continuing to reinforce the concept
that Math is all around us. |
