General Goal(s) – Expected Outcome

• Students will play a Hockey Face Off game to compare numbers.

Specific Objectives • Students will identify which number in a pair of numbers is greater.

Required Materials

• Hockey Face Off board • Decks of playing cards with face cards removed or other type of illustrated number

cards. • Counters

Introduction

• Review what the students know about playing hockey. • Discuss keeping score and how the score helps us know who wins.

Modeling/Explanation

• Show a score 2 - 1. • Ask the student who won. • Ask students to explain why. • Model using the words this number is more or greater instead of bigger. • Show several sets of numbers and show with illustrations or manipulative how you can

check to see which number is more.

Math Pre-K and K Independent Practice

• Students play Hockey Face Off Game. • Directions for Hockey Face Off Game. • Students place the deck of cards (dice or dominos can also be used) in the center

circle of the board. • Students select their goal. • Each student turns over a card. • The student’s who has the greater number wins and puts a counter in their goal. • In case of a tie both players get a counter. • The student with the most counters at the end of play wins.

Accommodations:

Adaptations (For Students with Learning Disabilities) • Students may benefit from using a die rather than number cards. • Provide extra practice comparing sets of counters to build number sense. • Consider having a small group play the game with teams. Extensions (For Gifted Students) • Have students play Addition Face Off. • Each student turns two cards over and adds the numbers together. The student with

the greatest sum wins.

Check for Understanding • Circulate while students play and ask students to explain how they know which

number is more. Closure/Wrap-Up

• Pull class together and let students discuss their games. • Review how to compare two numbers.

Evaluation

• Observation of students during game and discussion.
