Description
Comparing and Ordering Numbers
This comparing and ordering numbers 1-10 activity helps young learners decide whether a number is less than, equal to or greater than another number, and then put numbers in order. Comparing small numbers builds strong number sense, and it is the first step toward using the greater than and less than symbols later on.
How to Play the Lion and Sun Sort
Cut out the ten lion number cards and the six sun sort cards. Children lay out the three sun cards from one set, such as less than 5, equal to 5 and greater than 5, then read each lion card and place it under the sun card where it belongs. When all ten lions are sorted, they mix the cards and play again with the Set 7 sun cards. The comparing and ordering numbers 1-10 activity works well in a math center, a small group or as partner practice, and it is a fun kindergarten counting activity that also fits 1st grade review. A Kindergarten practice worksheet asks children to write three numbers in order from least to greatest.
What’s Included
- Colorful cover page
- How to Use page with simple steps
- 10 lion number cards (1 to 10)
- 6 sun sort cards (two sets)
- Kindergarten practice worksheet
- Answer keys for the sort and the practice page
Why This Activity Helps Kids
- Sorting cards by less than, equal to and greater than makes comparing hands-on.
- Two sun sets give children a reason to compare the same numbers in a new way.
- Putting numbers in order builds the number line in every child’s mind.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Hide the lion cards around the room for a number hunt, line them up from 1 to 10 and then back down, or make a new sun card set with the number 3 or 8.
