Grade 1
Preparation
Lesson Purpose
The purpose of this lesson is for students to compare two-digit numbers that are represented in different ways.
Lesson Narrative
In previous lessons, students compared numbers and used the symbols
In this lesson, students compare two-digit numbers that are represented in different ways. Students use what they have learned about tens and the structure of two-digit numbers to compose or decompose tens to make sense of representations and compare (MP7). In the first activity, students consider two collections that are represented in different ways and determine which has more. In the second activity, students compare numbers shown as different base-ten representations and write comparison statements using the symbols
This lesson has a Student Section Summary.
- Explain (orally) methods for comparing two-digit numbers represented in different ways.
