Numbers!


Numbers  are all similar!
A way to compare all numbers
 Same as
 More than
 Less than
 Equal to
 Increasing Order
 Decreasing Order
Same As:


Two or more equal amounts
Can show they are equal by:
 Use “=“ sign to show




                    =
 State “same as” between the
  numbers
Examples!




Three oranges is the same as three apples

            3     =      3

            III   =     III
More than:

One  amount is larger than the
 other
Can show greater by:
 “Greater than”




                        >
 “More than”
  “>” symbol
More than Examples




4   is more than      3

4   is greater than   3

4         >           3
Less than

One  amount is smaller than the
 other




                     <
Can show by:
 “Less than”
 “fewer than”
 “<“ symbol
Less than Examples!




2   Is less than    3

2       <           3

2   Is fewer than   3
Increasing Order

Numbers    going from smallest to
 largest

Can    be many numbers

Also   called ascending order
Increasing Examples


1,   2, 3, 4, 5

5,   20, 29, 32, 37, 41

6,   8, 10, 12, 14
Decreasing Order

Numbers    go from larger to
 smaller

Can  use as many numbers as
 possible

Also   called descending order
Decreasing Examples


5,   4, 3, 2, 1

72,   64, 59, 42, 12

24,   22, 20, 18, 16
Now For the Fun!

Each student will receive their
 own M & M’s
Each cup contains:
 7  yellow
  4 brown
  6 red
  3 orange
  5 blue
  2 green
Activity!

With     your M & M’s show:

5   >2

3<   4

2   =2
Activity!


   Place your M&M’s in:
