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.
