Comparing Numbers Freebie - Free Math Curriculum Posters and Worksheets

 Comparing Numbers Freebie - Free Math Curriculum Posters and Worksheets


Have you ever tried to teach your learners about comparing numbers, only to have them stare back at your blankly like you've just explained Einstein's Theory? Introducing kids to new symbols when they've just gotten used to addition and subtraction symbols can be a bit confusing. 

We start them off with counting, number sense, and number lines - so they may KNOW that 55 is greater than 22, but adding in a new symbol can mess that all up!


That is exactly why I made this freebie for all of you - and my own kids!

Trying out a few ways to explain this concept can be tricky without having to pull out the old gator mouth explanation! And don't get me wrong, I love that one - but for some kids that can confuse them even further! Why are learning about hungry gators in math class??


In this unit I've included a few very simple posters and anchor charts you can hang up to remind kids how to compare numbers. You can also use them to teach! I have included:

  • Symbol posters showing each symbol and what it means (< > =)
  • Symbols on a number line, can be a great visual for some learners
  • Comparing tens and ones with two examples (see the picture above)
  • Worksheets - I have also included a few different worksheets...


Your learners will be able to put what you have taught them into practice by either circling a symbol or writing it in themselves. There is a version with numbers to 10 and a version with numbers to 100 for different levels of learners too.

I really hope you and your learners enjoy this unit and it helps you out in the classroom or homeschool!
