Comparing Numbers: Greater Than and Less Than

The video tutorial introduces students to comparing numbers using place value and base 10 blocks. It begins with a racetrack theme to engage students in understanding how to determine if one number is greater or less than another. The tutorial then transitions to a worksheet activity, reinforcing the concept of counting tens and ones to compare numbers. Finally, a Thanksgiving-themed maze activity is presented, where students help a turkey find its way out by identifying numbers less than 57. Throughout the video, students are encouraged to use visual aids and logical reasoning to enhance their understanding of number comparison.
