This lesson plan is for a 1-hour mathematics class for grade 1 students. The objective is for students to learn to compare numbers of 1-2 digits by using greater than and less than symbols. Materials include boxes of numbered objects, an alligator toy, and a worksheet. To warm up, students will arrange numbered objects in pairs. The teacher will introduce the alligator toy and the terms "greater than" and "less than". Students will practice comparing numbers using examples. To reinforce the concepts, the class will sing a song about which number the alligator would eat based on its size. Finally, students will individually come to the board to compare numbers using the alligator toy.

PHASES GUIDE
OBJECTIVES At the end of this session the studentswill be able to
comparetwo numbersof one or two digits each.
MATERIALS
 Boxes filled with concrete numbers.
 Alligator.
 Objects (cars, fruits…etc.).
 Worksheet.
WARM UP
 Providestudentswith a box which contains numbers
from 1 till 20.
 Ask studentsto arrangethe numbers(in pairs).
 Check the studentswork.
PROCEDURE 1
1) Show the studentsthe “Alligator”, stick it on the
board.
2) Ask the studentsto tell us the way they ordered the
numbers(increasingdecreasing...)
3) Write on the board two terms:
a. Greater than.
b. Less than.
 Ask onestudentto read these two terms.
 Ask the studentswhat do they know about these
terms (collect answers).
4) Check if all studentsunderstood these terms by asking
them to expressby giving examples.
EXAMPLES
 5 is greater than 1. (5 > 1)
 1 is less than 5. (1 < 5)
 13 is greater than 10. (13>10)
 10 is less than 13. (10<13)

2. PROCEDURE 2
PROCEDURE 2
5) Hold the alligator and sing the following song:
Alligator, Alligator
Which one will you eat
The bigger one,
The greater one,
It will be sweet
6) Repeat the song 5 times together.
7) Ask each student to come to the board, hold the
“Alligator”, here the teacher will give him/her 2
numbersof one or two digits each. So, that he/she has
to compare them using the “Alligator”.
CLOSURE
 Sing the song again.
 Solve a worksheet.

3. NOTES
 The box filled with concrete numbers and using the
“Alligator” will help the students with special needs if
we placed objects under each number representing it.
