How to help with this skill
First graders use drawings, objects, and number lines to understand small numbers and explain their thinking. Focus on accuracy before speed.
- Line numbers up by place value if needed.
- Compare the largest positions first, then move right.
- Choose the correct symbol: <, >, or =.
Try this: Use two groups of objects and say which group has more.
