EngageNY 60 min(s)Support for English Language Learners

In this lesson, students begin using the comparison symbols >, =, and < to compare pairs of two-digit numbers. They focus on the quantity that is greater as they use the alligator analogy to "eat" and identify the greater amount. They then use the alligator analogy to identify the lesser amount.

1st Grade

Understand that the two digits of a two-digit number represent amounts of tens and ones. Understand the following as special cases:

10 can be thought of as a bundle of ten ones - called a "ten."

The numbers from 11 to 19 are composed of a ten and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones.

The numbers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 refer to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine tens (and 0 ones).
