The beginning of the new school year brings lots of excitement, and lots of skills to practice. This activity will get them focused on their new school year and activities and keep them engaged in their math lessons at the same time. Students will count characters on both sides of the slide, (1-12) and then label the number sentence with a greater than, less than, or equal to symbol. If using a smartboard, students may also label each side with the correct number. May also be used as a quiz
