This 1-hour kindergarten math lesson focuses on comparing numbers using the terms "less than", "greater than", and "equal to". Students will work in pairs to separate buttons into two groups, then identify whether one group has more, less, or the same amount as the other group by placing the appropriate symbol between the groups. The teacher will present an example via PowerPoint before students complete the activity. Understanding will be assessed by checking students' work to see if they chose the right comparison symbol for each button grouping.

Grade(s): Kindergarten Subject(s): Mathematics Length of Lesson: 1 hour Lesson Overview/Rationale: Students will strengthen and improve their number skills. Students will work together in pairs. Curriculum Framework/Standard: Michigan Kindergarten Math “Develop an understanding of numbers and explore simple mathematical processes (operations) using concrete materials.” Page 3 Learning Objectives: Students will count from 0-15 Students will compare numbers using the words less than, greater than, and equal to Technology Uses: Projector/Presentation Software Materials: Piece of paper Buttons Scissors Procedure: Teacher will present an example of the lesson via PowerPoint presentation Students will get into groups of two Each pair will get 15 buttons and cut out a traced greater than, less then, and equal to symbol One student separate’s the buttons into two groups One student identifies whether it is greater than, less than, or equal to and puts the correct symbol in between both groups Each group takes turns
Assessment: I checked for understanding by checking their tables and seeing if they chose the right symbol to go between the groups of buttons
