Today Anna and Quinn, used the less than and greater than signs to compare numbers. Anna began class on Sumdog and Quinn and I worked. We began by reviewing our homework and how to read 6 digit numbers. We then talked about comparing numbers. We discussed that you have to start by comparing the number of digits there are in each number. Then you must look from the left to the right (thousands to ones place) comparing each number. For instance the number 953 starts with a 9 and the number 1,569 starts with a 1. The number that begins with the 1 is larger because it had more digits. We completed the guided practice together and then Quinn completed the 8 independent work questions. Quinn answered 7 of the 8 questions correctly! Anna and Quinn switched playing on Sumdog. Anna and I did the same lesson that Quinn and I did and she answered all 8 of the independent work questions correct. They both did very well and showed they have a good understanding of this topic.
