GREATER THAN, LESS THAN GAME!
To prepare • Print off the 2 color or black and white bug number houses and cut to separate them. Print on card to help them
last. Laminate if you like. Store them in a small ziploc baggie. • Print off 2 copies of the color or black and white bug strips and >, =, < jars. Cut on the lines to separate the strips
and between the jars to separate those. Store in another baggie. • Print off the color or black and white game mat if you’d like to use it. It’s not essential to the activity but can help
your kids keep everything closer together. Everything can then be kept together in a large ziploc baggie or turned into a file folder game.
File folder game • I cut my file folder so it’s just a little higher than the game mat. • Glue the game mat onto the inside of the file folder, keeping it as far to the right as possible. • Use double-sided tape to attach both ziploc baggies to the left inner flap. • Glue the file folder title to the front of the file. I placed both the color and black and white labels on the same
page, so make sure your printer is set to either color or black and white before printing.
How to play (individually or in pairs) • If necessary pre-teach the concept of tens and ones making up double digit numbers. • Randomly choose 2 number bug houses and place them on the bug house silhouettes (if using) • Choose the correct tens strip and individual bees (ones) and place them beneath the number bug houses. • Decide whether the left number is less than or greater than the right number. • Choose the correct > or < jars to show the equation. • For pairs, one can choose and complete the left number, and the other the right. Then they can decide together
how to correctly complete the equation.
Notes • Equal: I included the = jars so children can compare equal numbers of bugs or show an equation using 1 bug
house and the correct number of bugs.
Curriculum Guidelines: Being able to understand and compare two-digit numbers using tens and ones is a requirement of both the US Common Core (1.NBT.3) and the Australian Curriculum (ACMNA014) for Grade 1. I hope your little ones enjoy this game and wish you happy teaching and learning!
