Greater Gator Chomps the Hornets

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Here is a very good, interactive presentation that reinforces the concepts of greater than, less than, and equal to. In it, learners are taught the trick that the alligator always "eats" the number of greater value. During the PowerPoint, learners try their hand at picking the correct symbol based on how many hornets appear in each group. Very good practice, and instant feedback is given.
