Hello Families,
I love the analogy of the alligator to help students understand greater than and less than. What first grader doesn't love imagining an alligator eating the biggest number?!
Just in case you feel like your student might need a different example, consider this extremely silly video my grade partner found on youtube. Take a look! Research has indicated that students really benefit when they access topics from multiple vantage points like visuals, music, hands on and so on. I probably won't be showing it in school, so this could be fun at home learning!
Thanks for supporting this class website!
