On Number Sense Island, there are some amazing creatures. Let’s meet the Lesser Yeti! The Lesser Yeti loves to point out things that are bigger, taller, or greater than itself.
The Lesser Yeti says, “This rock is greater than me.” Then it points to a tree and says, “This tree is greater than me.” Finally, it looks at a mountain and says, “This mountain is greater than me.”
What’s happening now? A meeting of Yetis! One Yeti says, “This Yeti is equal to me in size; it is the same.” That means they are the same size!
Let’s learn about numbers! Three is greater than one. This means three is bigger than one. Seven is greater than one too. Can you tell which number is greater?
Nine is greater than five. That means nine is bigger than five. Now, can you tell which number is less?
Five is less than nine. This means five is smaller than nine.
And so, we say goodbye to the extraordinary creatures of Number Sense Island. Remember, you can learn more by doing fun activities!
Yeti Size Hunt: Go on a Yeti Size Hunt around your home or classroom! Find objects that are greater than, less than, or equal to the size of your hand. For each object, say, “This [object] is greater than my hand,” “This [object] is less than my hand,” or “This [object] is equal to my hand.” Share your findings with a friend or family member!
Number Line Adventure: Create a simple number line from 1 to 10 using paper or chalk. Place small toys or objects on different numbers. Ask questions like, “Is the toy on number 7 greater than or less than the toy on number 3?” Move the toys around and explore different comparisons. Can you find two numbers that are equal?
Story Time with Numbers: Draw a picture story of the Lesser Yeti meeting different objects. For each object, write a sentence using “greater than,” “less than,” or “equal to.” For example, “The Lesser Yeti meets a flower. The flower is less than the Yeti.” Share your story with your class or family!
