What Standards (national
or state) relate to this
lesson?
(You should include ALL
applicable standards. Rarely
do teachers use just one:
theyd never get through
them all.)
Essential Understanding
(What is the big idea or
essential question that you
want students to come away
with? In other words, what,
aside from the standard and
our objective, will students
understand when they finish
this lesson?)
I am teaching this so that students can identify sets that are greater than/more than a
given set.
Students need to be able to identify sets that are less/fewer than a given set.
This helps students learn to know the difference between groups and sets and be able to
identify real world scenarios.
It is important for because students first learn to match objects in the two groups to see
if there are any extra and then to count the objects in each group and use their
knowledge of the count sequence to decide which number is greater than the other.
Students will need to compare number later in their math years and they correlate with
number lines.
Summative Assessment:
Students will draw a line from each object in the first set to an object in the
second set. Which set has MORE objects? Circle the set that shows more.
Draw a line from each object in the first set to an object in the
second set. Which set has less objects? Circle the set that shows
less.
Formative Assessment:
Class read aloud discussion and their answers to the hot questions.
Students might get confused with objects that are bigger and think there is
more in the group.
Another problem is that the word "greater" may not be familiar to students.
It's not used in everyday language so it may come off as "better." They may
What background
knowledge is necessary for
a student to successfully

How will you ensure
students have this
previous knowledge?
Who are your learners?
What do you know about
them?
What do you know about
their readiness for this
content?
What misconceptions
might students have about
this content?
start to think "which number is better?" To clarify, the words "greater" and
"fewer" can be added to a vocabulary list. The students can write about
them in literacy and eventually learn them.
Children are not sure if a number is greater or less than the other right off
the bat. They are still trying to figure out what numbers look like so it may
take them some time to grasp this concept.

If applicable, how does this lesson connect to the interests and cultural
backgrounds of your students?
Allowing them to be able to count and know how many people leave in their
how vs. their neighbor.
If applicable, how does this lesson connect to/reflect the local community?
Teaching students to compare more less in the community.
How will you differentiate instruction for students who need additional
challenge during this lesson (enrichment)?
I will give them a worksheet where they can cute out the greater than or less than
worksheet
They will count the shaded windows on each house. Cut and paste the alligator
mouths below to show which house shows more shaded windows.
How will you differentiate instruction for students who need additional
language support?
I will translate the work into Greek for my student who home language is Greek.
Accommodations (If
needed)
(What students need specific
accommodation? List
individual students (initials),
and then explain the
accommodation(s) you will
implement for these unique
learners.)
Materials

Why did you choose these
materials? Include any
resources you used. This can
also include people!)
