KinderMath: Compare Numbers 11-20 

Today’s lesson will focus on students comparing numbers 11-20 again. However, this time the kids will also be focusing on the numeral itself. We will use the same counting book as yesterday (How Many Snails? ) to count sets of objects, and write the matching numeral that goes with each set. For example...How many star fish are there? {17} How many dogs are there? {15} Both numbers will be written on the board. The kids will explain their thinking with question probes like, How do you know? and Can you prove that?

 
In this lesson, students observe different animal behaviors and work to discover another pattern: all animals seek safety in order to survive. The activity, Gopher in a Hole, includes physical movement in which students pretend to be snails hiding in their shells, praying mantises scaring away predators, and gophers popping out of holes.
