Discussion Questions
- Before Video[Show a row of 8 pens with a row of 4 crayons under it. Spread out the 4 crayons so the row of crayons looks longer than the row of 8 pens.] How does the number of crayons compare to the number of pens?
ANSWERThere are more pens than crayons or there are fewer crayons than pens.
ANSWERThere are more blue counters than red counters or there are fewer red counters than blue counters.
ANSWERThere are more bird puppets than fish puppets or there are fewer fish puppets than bird puppets.
There are 2 tens and 7 ones. The number is 27.
3 tens blocks and 2 ones blocks
- After VideoUse <, =, or > to compare 37 and 42. Explain how you compared.ANSWER
37 has 3 tens. 42 has 4 tens. 42 has more tens. 42 > 37 or 37 < 42
25 has two tens. 29 has two tens. The digits in tens place are the same. So, we compare the ones place. 25 has 5 ones. 29 has 9 ones. 9 is greater than 5, so 29 > 25. Onawa read more books.
The number of red marbles, 53, has 5 tens and 3 ones. The number of blue marbles, 53, also has 5 tens and 3 ones. 53 = 53
ANSWERTyree is not correct. You have to look at which place each digit is in. 65 has 6 tens. 56 has 5 tens. 6 is greater than 5. 65 > 56
It is true that 23 is greater than 19. It is also true that 19 is less than 23. 19 < 23
