Math: Comparing Numbers to 20

 New Concept:

You will be revisiting the concept of comparing numbers.

We have worked on comparing numbers before, but today I want to revisit it. We are going to play a new game. Select a student to be your partner. We will each take a card. I want to show you these symbols. Show and remind students of the symbols greater than, less than, and equal to. Say, 15 is less than 16. Demonstrate this game a few more times using the various symbols. 

Whole Group Explore:

Today you will play Monster Munch with your partner.
spinner to see who gets to keep both cards. Demonstrate using the spinner a few more times before letting the students work on their own.

Application: Compare numbers and solve simple mixed equations.
