Number Comparisons

Recently, we've been learning about number comparisons.  To practice this skill in a more exciting way, I gave my students Expo markers, a tissue, and two pretzel sticks.  I dictated two numbers for them to write on their desks (our desks erase Expo).  They then arranged their pretzel sticks to show a correct number comparison.  It was a quick way for me to see who was understanding the concept and who was not.  At the end of our practicing, I gave them each more pretzels to eat.  Food makes anything fun, right?  Also...head over to First Grade Fun to see some great comparison printables and a game that Janae made!
