In the world of numbers, Kindergarten are on the exciting journey of discovery.Among the first stops on this adventure are two special symbols < or >These symbols represent the concepts of less than and greater than . Teaching them about greater than and lesser than is not just educational but also lots of fun. Its like teaching them the secret code to unlock a world of comparison and number adventure.
Our Ey kids were taught this concept with the alligator story. Imagine the symbols < or > as the open mouths of hungry alligator. The alligator always wants to eat the bigger number. When we see 5> 3 it means the alligator gobbles up the 5 because its bigger. Kids love this visual and can relate to it easily. To make it even more fun,an activity was conducted.
Number flash cards were provided to the children with two different numbers wherein the students have to identify the greater number and place the appropriate symbol towards it.
