Much more exciting than a worksheet or textbook page, "Which Way Did He Go?" is a hands-on and visual way of practicing number comparisons. Students use chomping alligator cards to represent the < > symbols as they compare numbers on a math mat. If desired, you can have them record their number equations with paper and pencil.
Math mat, number cards, easy to read directions and chomping gators are provided - simply print on heavy paper or construction paper, laminate if desired for longer wear, and cut apart.
