Students will decorate their own <> monsters
using construction paper to make teeth, crayons, colored pencils,
etc. to draw features on their <> monsters.
The teacher will pass out a few beans, pieces
of pasta, etc. to each student. Students will then place 3 items
on the left and 8 items on the right and decide with way the "monster"
should face. The teacher can direct students to put different
numbers of items on their desks and have the students decide which
way the "monster" should face.
Evaluation:
The teacher can observe the students as they decorate their monsters
-- are the students holding their pencils correctly? Are they
demonstrating proper use of scissors and glue?
The teacher can also evaluate the students'
understand of less than and greater than by watching the students
to see if they face their monsters the correct way.
Enrichment Activities:
The teacher should show examples of what the undecorated less
than and greater than symbols looks like. She should also show
examples of how it is used in math.
