Prepping your comparing numbers lesson plans and centers are going to be a breeze with this amazing collection of activities. The hands-on centers ideas in this math unit are great fun, and relatively low prep. You will need to add some manipulatives from around the classroom to go with the printables in this set.
Use game pieces from popular card and board games to instantly up the engagement and fun level of your math centers. In these comparing numbers games, we use things like Uno cards, Dominoes, and toy bears to get kids enjoying math.
This game was a huge hit with my kids. You’ll just need a few cups and some numbered game cards.
We used our favorite counting bears for this fun activity. The children lined the bears up on the cards, compared the numbers, and recorded them on their comparing numbers recording sheet.
Who doesn’t love to build ice cream cones? The kids loved figuring out who got the most scoops, and they got a bit of fine motor practice in as well using these fun Gator Grabbers.
Kids love learning with candy, and as it happens, Candy Corn makes fantastic greater than less than symbols.
Keep the learning fun going with these fun math centers. Kids get lots of fine motor skills and even sensory play while working on concepts like one more one less, counting, and comparing numbers.
We love our shape buttons, and for this activity, the kids get to count to a number that matches the set from the card. It takes some thinking, but it’s a lot of fun.
Spinners can turn any learning activity into a game, and we love these transparent ones that go with all of your favorite spin activities. It’s so much easier than a pencil and paperclip, and the kids LOVE them.
Building Towers is one of my kid’s favorite things to do for centers. This time we used dice and turned it into a comparing numbers build-a-thon. Snap Cubes work beautifully for this activity, but you can use your other favorite blocks as well.
GREATER OR LESS THAN RAIN CLOUDS
Who knew that umbrellas could make such a fun greater than less than symbol? A little brad made this one spin, and the kids could compare their playdough rain drops after counting and shaping them all.
Here are some additional comparing numbers games and activities that kids will enjoy. They can practice just more or less than or even work on ordering numbers.
We used goldfish for this fun comparing numbers activity, but you could also use plastic toy fish. Either way, it’s a lot of fun.
Magnetic numbers take this activity to the next level. The children mix and match and put the numbers in the boxes. They then count how many more or less and record the number.
This game is fun because you get to flip pages for the 3 different sections of the book to make the statement true. Flip up and down, and keep making new fun combinations. You can have them record their findings on the comparing numbers recording worksheet from the set.
Can you make them equal? Use buttons, pom poms, or other circle-shaped manipulatives to make the number of gumballs equal in each machine.
We used our transparent spinners again for this fun activity. The children either had to draw in a new apple or cross one out and then record the number.
Sometimes comparing numbers includes knowing which one came before and which one comes after. This simple activity works on that skill.
In addition to the hands-on math centers above, we also created 15 fun comparing numbers worksheets for you. These worksheets include coloring, cut and paste, number formation, and of course, comparing numbers.
These worksheets are designed to give kids different ways of modeling and looking at comparing numbers. There are pictures with dice, gumballs, bees, dominoes, and more. These printables make great math coloring pages that kids enjoy while learning skills.
It’s important to continue working on fine motor skills like using scissors, gluing, and even writing numbers. These pages work those skills along with comparing numbers.
While learning to compare numbers, we also want kids to be able to order numbers. This set of worksheets helps kids practice those skills.
